Antioch Police Arrest Man for Trespassing After House Fire

by ECT

The Antioch Police Department arrested a man who was trespassing inside a home when a fire broke out Thursday morning at 6:20 am in the 300 block Drake Street in Antioch.

Contra Costa County Firefighters responded to the incident to locate smoke coming from the home and quickly extinguished the small fire. The home was vacant and construction crews are currently in process of remodeling the home.

Police were able to take a man into custody on trespassing charges and upon further investigation.

The call originally was dispatched as a residential structure fire, however, units on scene quickly cancelled the remainder of the balance as only three engines were needed. Units were on scene for just under 60-minutes.

No one was injured.

Prediction: many of our fellow commentators will be clawing the air to know the skin color of the trespasser, since this description wasn’t listed. They will not sleep soundly until they know what shade his skin color was in relation to their own. In order to justify their deep inner hate they will seek to know how much melanin this man had in his skin. The comments will be coming soon….

@Bob. Moron. The picture is right there. I like full descriptions because suspects not apprehended helps me keep an eye out.

And for the record, most of the suspects in Antioch are black.

Yes. The truth hurts.

Man, I love when hillbillies get up in arms about things ? Including the infamous self-hating Rim-Job Betty (RJB). For argument’s sake, the dude could’ve been a dark skinned Mexican.

Bob and Mike Hunt are same prick lol thinks he’s fooling people changing names. BTW I’m hispanic so your hilly billy comment is just as dumb as you race baiter. Get a clue! Hope one of these punks shoots or robs you and let’s see where you stand after that!

I never said I side with these criminals, you buffoon. Such a childish group of folks on here. Wishing harm on me because I simply said a bunch of you would want to know more about true perpetrator’s race? You’re pathetically childish. Your Spanish conquistador slave masters would be proud.

I’m black. Far from a hillbilly… I feel bad for how racist you’ve become in trying to accuse others of being racist.

That comment was directed to the self-proclaimed Hispanic Sernie Banders. In all honesty I don’t care what color you are, no one does lol. Some of you just can’t help but claim race as the origin of the east bay’s crimewave rather than other factors. Race is meaningless to me in all this. That was my only point, dude. Take a chill pill and stop taking stuff so seriously. I hope your computer is okay from you banging all over it with these comments. Peace.
