Fire investigators arrested Gerald Allan Mallegni, 49, for the fire that caused minor damage to the Imperial Motel in the downtown area.

Two occupants of the motel escaped through a back window when the fire damaged outside doors.

Fire investigators believe a domestic dispute with a woman staying in one of the motel rooms prompted the fire. Firefighters quickly doused the blaze, which caused an estimated $5,000 damage.
