FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WOWO): A Fort Wayne teenager is facing arson and criminal mischief charges after investigators say he set his truck on fire to collect insurance money.


Arson investigators say 19-year-old Dylan Goetterman intentionally set his vehicle on fire using a grill lighter and fluid. According to the News-Sentinel, Goetterman initially told firefighters a would-be buyer was upset with him, because he didn't accept an offer made on his truck.
