A New Jersey man has been charged with arson and criminal mischief in connection with a fire two months ago that destroyed two sheds, as well as Little League equipment.
According to NJ 101.5, Anthony Lindsey, 43, of Woodstown, was arrested Tuesday by the U.S. Marshal Service and remanded to Salem County Jail.
Lindsey is believed to have caused the fire on Sept. 3 at Monroe Township's Little League Complex, which destroyed two storage sheds filled with youth baseball equipment.
Fire officials determined that the cause of the fire was arson, and following an investigation, Lindsey was identified as a suspect and a warrant was issued for his arrest, police said. He was arrested on Monday.
An online fundraising campaign is looking for $10,000 to replace equipment lost in the fire.
As of early Wednesday, the GoFundMe had raised $1,320.
"Our league is strictly funded by donations and registration fees," the campaign reads. "Both sheds were entirely burned down, and inside those two sheds, we lost several pieces of equipment that we've accrued over the years that are needed to keep our league running.
