Victorville Man Suspected of Arson, Charged After Early Morning Blaze

Early on Thursday morning, the terrifying sight of flames broke the stillness of the Victorville neighborhood. A fire at the intersection of Mojave Drive and Village Drive was promptly put out by deputies and the Victorville Fire Department, according to the San Bernardino County Sheriff-Coroner Department. Pedro Sanchez, a 33-year-old transient who was familiar with the neighborhood, was arrested at the site on suspicion of igniting the fire, according to the sheriff’s news release.

Currently on parole, Sanchez was arrested at 6:43 a.m. and charged with P.C. 452(D), which is the cause of property fire. The emergency services’ prompt action made sure the fire was put out before it could spread further, possibly preventing a more serious disaster. The community is left with the unsettling awareness that their neighborhood’s safety was briefly at danger, and despite the prompt action, the reasons behind Sanchez’s claimed arson are still unknown.

Victorville Police are now requesting the public’s help as a result of the event. Anyone with information that could help explain what happened is urged to get in touch with the Victorville Police Station or the Sheriff’s Dispatch directly. The We-Tip website and phone provide a private way for people who want to provide information without being identified.

Although information on the precise properties impacted by the fire or the degree of the damage was not immediately available, the sheriff’s announcement stated that Deputy C. Cassidy is still actively investigating the matter.

The Victorville Sheriff’s station will provide more information as the story develops. According to the sheriff’s report, Pedro Sanchez is currently incarcerated at the High Desert Detention Center in Adelanto, awaiting his court date.
