• When Thanh Ha, 54, allegedly set fire to his boss's house in early May, he had a perfectly understandable reason: "Spirits" told him to do so, he told deputies.
According to WFLA-TV, Ha was arrested on June 29 in Pinellas County, Florida, on second-degree arson charges.
Authorities say surveillance cameras caught him riding a bike to his boss's new St. Petersburg home, securing his bike to a nearby stop sign and approaching the home on foot while trying to cover his face with his shirt.
Five minutes later, he can be seen running back to his bike and riding away.
Ha also told deputies he was not upset with his (presumably former) employer. [WFLA, 6/30/2022]
