Jefferson City, TN (WOKI) A man is arrested Sunday, November 5 after setting his truck on fire at a gas station in Jefferson City.
Officials with the Jefferson City Police Department say officers responded to the Marathon on U.S. Route 11 East near the Hamblen County line around 7:30 p.m.
After interviewing witnesses and watching video footage, officials say officers determined that the truck’s owner, 61-year-old Randy Allen Hodge, pumped gas into his truck bed and appeared to have ignited the fuel intentionally. He then pulled away from the fuel pumps with the truck bed still on fire, and a bystander extinguished the flames.
Hodge is charged with aggravated arson.
