Pittsburg Teen Arrested For Arson

Angel Herrera Amaya

According to the Tri-County Press, authorities arrested Angel Herrera Amaya, 17, as the suspect in setting a car on fire in Pittsburg. The Pittsburg Police Department looked into the incident after someone said a vehicle was on fire on April 4 at around 1:54 am in the 100-block of Whatley St. James “Buck” Threadgill, 85, and his wife lost their 2005 Dodge truck due to the arson. They woke up after hearing police and fire officials. Threadgill is the beloved school crossing guard for Pittsburg ISD. His friends created a GoFundMe and bought a truck to replace his damaged one. Officials still do not know the motive for the crime.
