Rohnert Park Man Arrested, Accused Of Setting Fire To Homeless Woman's SUV

A Rohnert Park man will be arraigned Monday for allegedly setting a homeless woman’s vehicle on fire in January.

Alexis Barajas Gonzalez was arrested Thursday for arson of an inhabited structure and arson to property.

Rohnert Park Department of Public Safety detective Jon Kempf said a woman who was living in her car got in an argument with a group of men on Jan. 29 at a storage facility on Redwood Drive in Rohnert Park where she also stored some of her possessions.

Gonzalez then set fire to her GMC Suburban, and the blaze destroyed the vehicle, Kempf said.

There were witnesses and video of the incident that led to the identification of Gonzalez as the arson suspect, Kempf said.

Gonzalez is being held under $50,000 bail in the Sonoma County Jail and is scheduled to be arraigned Monday afternoon in Sonoma County Superior Court.
