A man has been booked with arson in connection with a fire that happened earlier this month.
Alexis Delao, 31, was booked into the Lafayette jail with simple arson.
He's accused in connection with a May 17 fire in the 300 block of Lebesque Road, Scott Fire Department officials say.
Firefighters were called to that location at about 2 a.m. and they found a car engulfed in flames. They brought the fire under control before it could spread to a nearby mobile home, officials say.
Firefighters saw indications that it was an arson, so they called in arson investigators with the Lafayette Fire Department. Those investigators gathered evidence and obtained a warrant for Delao, officials said.
There no injuries reported in the fire.
