A man was arrested for setting his shelter on fire at a Madison-owned homeless shelter encampment Tuesday afternoon, authorities reported.

Madison police on Tuesday did not say an arrest had been made their report on the incident, but Chief Shon Barnes said in his blog Wednesday morning that a man was arrested for arson and threatening law enforcement officers.

Barnes said the man went to turn himself in and threatened law enforcement officers during the process.

Based on the case number matching on the police report and the Dane County Jail record, the man arrested was Jeffrey M. Jalinski, who was booked into the jail at 8:49 p.m. Wednesday on tentative charges of arson, battery/threat to law enforcement, disorderly conduct and criminal damage to property.

I laugh at this - it is so Madison, it hurts. They have a significant homeless/publicly mentally ill problem - and have no clue as to how to solve it.

Article says the city got a deal, these double-wide outhouses, I mean shelters, only cost $15k each. Replacing it will cost much moreā€¦

Next time he should set a building on fire.
Portland has shown us that is perfectly legal.
