A South Bay man accused of going on an arson rampage was formally charged Thursday.
“All these fires were set in the immediate vicinity of people who live in the community,” Supervising Deputy District Attorney Michel Amaral said. “It is sheer happenstance that no one was injured in this case.”Police say they are still investigating his connection to at least 30 other recent fires in the area.
Catano is being held in the Elmwood Correctional Facility in Milpitas. His bail is set at $1 million.
