Police arrest man accused of setting fire to Windsor playground

WINDSOR, Colo. — A man was arrested for allegedly setting fire to a playground in a Windsor park early on Friday, the police department said.

Early Friday morning, officers with the Windsor Police Department responded to a fire at the playground at Covenant Park, which is located at the intersection of Fernwood Drive and Southwood Lane. The playground was deemed unsafe and has remained closed since.

While canvassing the area, detectives found a suspect and took him into custody. He has been identified as Joshua Davis, 25. He was booked into jail on a charge of second-degree arson, which is a Class 3 felony, police said.

Anybody with information on this incident is asked to contact Det. Schmidt-Johnson [email protected].
