Authorities allege that 21-year-old Harrison Frederick Jones traveled 700 miles from Michigan to Pennsylvania with possible jealous motives before setting a house on fire, injuring six people, killing two family dogs, and causing the home to be uninhabitable. Jones was arrested in Michigan and is facing 13 felonies, including attempted homicide and arson charges. The incident occurred in Bensalem, where surveillance footage showed Jones setting the fire and then fleeing back to Michigan immediately afterward. Investigators used technology to track Jones’ movements and determine his involvement in the crime. The victims were in a long-distance online relationship with a woman from Michigan, who was accompanied by Jones on a visit to Pennsylvania. Authorities believe the crime was premeditated, and Jones has denied involvement despite evidence linking him to the scene of the fire. The investigation involved extensive surveillance footage, cell phone tracking, and other evidence to piece together Jones’ movements before and after the fire. Authorities in Michigan and Pennsylvania worked together to apprehend Jones and gather evidence against him. The motive for the crime remains unknown, but authorities are pursuing prosecution to the fullest extent of the law, with potential sentencing exceeding Jones’ lifespan. The community in Bensalem was shocked by the incident, which left the victims hospitalized but lucky to have survived such a traumatic event.
