RENO, Nev. (AP) — Reno police have arrested a 29-year-old arson suspect in connection with a car fire in a Walmart parking lot.

Police said Friday Antonio Castrollen has been charged with third-degree arson. His bail was set at $5,000.

Investigators say a security camera at the Walmart on the south side of town implicated him in the fire that fully engulfed a Lincoln sedan on Thursday.

Firefighters doused the flames within minutes after a 911 caller reported someone was spraying lighter fluid into a car and set it on fire.

No one was hurt. The case remains under investigation.
