A North Fond du Lac man has been arrested in connection with a series of arson fires that recently occurred in the Fond du Lac area. The 43 year old suspect is currently being held in the Fond du Lac County jail pending formal charges. Law enforcement believes he acted alone, and no other suspects are currently being sought. Five fires were reported in March, one at a duplex in Fond du Lac, and the next morning three fires in North Fond du Lac and one in the town of Friendship. There were no injuries. Sheriff Ryan Waldschmidt said, “Arson is a serious crime that can jeopardize the lives of residents and puts the safety of firefighters and other first responders in danger as they work these scenes. Sheriff’s investigators worked tirelessly alongside members of the Fond du Lac Police Department, North Fond du Lac Police Department, Wisconsin Department of Justice State Fire Marshal’s Office, Fond du Lac Fire/Rescue, and the North Fond du Lac Fire Department to identify and pursue this suspect. Our community can be proud of the collaborative efforts of state, county, and local law enforcement agencies and local fire departments working together to apprehend this individual. “
