Authorities have arrested a 24-year-old man accused of setting the fire that destroyed the historic South Bushwick Reformed Church in Brooklyn.
The suspect, identified as John Jones, allegedly started the blaze that caused extensive damage to the 175-year-old church, a longstanding religious and architectural landmark in the South Bushwick community.
Emergency crews responded to the fire, but the building suffered severe destruction. Authorities have not yet released full details about the suspected motive or the evidence linking Jones to the incident.
Jones is expected to appear before a federal court in Brooklyn to face charges connected to the fire. The allegations against him have not been proven in court, and the investigation remains ongoing.
