Folsom police have arrested a West Sacramento man of suspicion of trying to torch his dry cleaning business after it fell on hard times.
According to a press release, police arrested Jung Hang Suh, 61, in connection with a July 5 fire that burned through Blue Ravine Cleaners on the 190 block of Blue Ravine Road.
In responding to the blaze, which burned mostly on the building's roof, police found Suh on the roof of an adjacent building, the release said. Suh had apparently injured himself while climbing on the roof and was taken to the hospital, the release said.
A further investigation revealed that Suh was the owner of Blue Ravine Cleaners and had allegedly fallen on tough financial times, the release said. Folsom detectives believe that Suh started the fire in order to recoup the insurance money and separate himself from the business, according to the release.
Suh was arrested today in West Sacramento, the release said. He was booked into Sacramento County Jail on $150,000 bail.
