Man Torched Little League Sheds In South Jersey: Police

MONROE TOWNSHIP, NJ — A man deliberately set two sheds on fire at a Little League field in Gloucester County, authorities said.

Anthony Lindsey was arrested Monday and charged with arson for his alleged role in the fire two months ago at the Monroe Township Little League Complex.

Authorities responded to the blaze at about 1:30 a.m. Sept. 3, when two sheds containing Little League equipment burned. The fire marshal determined it was caused by arson.

Lindsey, 43, of Woodstown, was identified as the suspect after further investigation. Police have not shared any potential motive.

He was also charged with criminal mischief.

Lindsey was placed in Salem County Jail, which houses Gloucester County inmates.

Monroe Little League is raising money through a GoFundMe campaign.

"Our league is strictly funded by donations and registration fees," the GoFundMe says. "Both sheds were entirely burned down, and inside those two sheds, we lost several pieces of equipment that we've accrued over the years that are needed to keep our league running."
