Florida: Rolando Salguero, 28, charged with animal cruelty after setting fire that killed dog

FLORIDA -- A 9-month-old pit bull puppy died of smoke inhalation after a Collier County man set fire to an East Naples apartment, Collier sheriff's deputies said.

Rolando Andres Salguero, 28, of Golden Gate Estates, faces animal cruelty and arson charges following his arrest Thursday night.


Investigators said Salguero was at the Thomasson Drive apartment of his daughters' mother early Tuesday morning when he started a fire, apparently using a lighter in a bedroom. The suspected arson came after an argument between Salguero and the renter, who left the residence earlier for her safety.

Eight people and several pets were evacuated from the four-unit apartment building. The extent of the fire wasn't immediately available, but no injuries were listed in an arrest report. Investigators found all of the fire alarms in the woman's apartment removed from their fixtures.

 

Salguero remained in a Collier jail on $220,000 bond Saturday evening. He was detained on battery and resisting arrest charges Tuesday, then had the arson and animal cruelty charges added Thursday.

  1. This story is not what it seems, this young man did not cause the fire as stated, it is under investigation and the person (female) that said she left out the front door and he had left out the back... well he left out the back door to smoke a cig and was so mad at her - he left. She was inside the room when he left. she says she doesn't smoke that is a lie. she smokes cigs and crack.. yes crack. don't be fooled by her. she claims to be a victim she is not victim.. she has a pattern...doesn't get what she wants - creates fault stories no evidence ever but somehow she keeps fooling the authorities. she even makes comments on how stupid police, dcf, and judges here are... I don't believe that - they are however fooled.

    1. I guess you don't understand how this works so I'll explain it to you. I did not write this article. It is re-posted from ABC7. It is also available from the Naples Daily News. In fact, the Naples Daily News has another article about Rolando Salguero: "Man charged in apartment fire has history of domestic violence accusations".
