In the past we’ve reported on some very disturbing behavior when it comes to consumers, stuffed animals, and Walmart (remember the humping incident?). The weirdness continued early this morning at a California store when a teen allegedly started a fire with the toys.
CBS Los Angeles reports that a 13-year-old was arrested after allegedly starting an arson fire at a local Walmart around midnight.
Officials with the local police department say surveillance video shows the blaze started when the teen used a lighter from the Christmas aisle to ignite a display of holiday-themed teddy bears.
A customer was able to put out the fire with a nearby fire extinguisher before firefighters arrived at the scene.
Police officials say the teen suspect, who was at the 24-hour store with his family, was arrested in the parking lot.
Although one person was treated at the scene for shortness of breath, fire officials say no injuries occurred as a result of the fire.
The store was evacuated for nearly three hours while fire officials investigated.
