A Vicksburg man was arrested Monday night for a February fire that destroyed one home and damaged two others on Main Street.
Bobby Blackmore, 54, 901 Warrenton Road, is charged with arson, said Vicksburg police Lt. Bobby Stewart.
He is accused of setting fire to 1402 Main St., a vacant home, on Feb. 23.
Also damaged were 1400 and 1404 Main.
All three were owned by the estate of James Buie.
Blackmore was arrested during a traffic stop about 6 p.m. Monday. He was indicted May 5, Stewart said, and police had been seeking him since.
Blackmore was in the Warren County Jail without bond pending an initial court appearance.
