Police arrest suspect in Grants trailer fire investigation
GRANTS, N.M. (KRQE) – Back on May 10, a Grants Police Officer arrived to a fire at a trailer on Second Street. He could tell no one lived there, given the lack of power/electrical hook ups, but he was still concerned somebody was inside. When firefighters arrived, they helped the officer get inside the trailer.

The following day, the officer questioned them, but according to police, the story didn't add up. Victoriano described their day, and it included them being in the area of the fire, yet they did not mention the fire. Victoriano told the officer the fire must have started from the ash of a cigarette, but then backtracked on part of that statement. They went on to say it was marijuana instead. To the officer, that didn't make sense, as there was no brush around. Victoriano then said they were 'just messing with' a broken piece of insultation with their torch. The officer took them into custody. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.
