Paynesville Man Accused of Burning Down Mobile Home Thursday
ST. CLOUD -- A Paynesville man is accused of burning down the mobile home he was living in.
Paynesville Police responded to the 400 block of Minnie Street Thursday morning to find a trailer fully engulfed and 42-year-old Nicholas Voss standing near it.
Police confirmed Voss was a tenant in the trailer and detected the smell of gasoline on him. Police say Voss ultimately admitted to starting the fire using gasoline and a lighter.
Later, when Voss was being booked into the Stearns County Jail, court records show a lighter was found in his pocket.
