Authorities appear to be close to announcing an arrest in the case of a June 13 arson incident at the Manhattan Walmart.

During an update to the Pottawatomie County Commission on Monday, County Attorney John Paul Washburn said he planned to meet with the lead detective on the case later in the day to review surveillance footage.

“They’ve got someone identified and the detective is certain it’s this person,” he said. “I want to watch the video myself because of the information I’ve already reviewed, just to make sure that I’m not missing anything, so I can feel confident that we can go forward and prosecute that case successfully.”
