A close call for a Bend business Friday morning after a man is caught pouring gasoline on a nearby shed with a trail leading to its store. Surveillance video shows the arson suspect. It happened around 4:20 a.m. at the "Imagine That" adult store on 3rd Street. A man poured gas all over the walls and floor of an attached storage shed. A custodian spotted it happening.
"I came out to have a cigarette and I saw a guy out back where our back fence is and yelled at him, I asked him what he was doing and he dropped the bag and took off running. I found a gas can full of gas and then I found where he poured gas on the fence and all the way to our back door," says Tim Moody.
Bend police K-9 units weren't able to find the man. He's described as 5'6", 160 pounds, wearing a green jacket and tan pants.
