Police: Man in pajama pants sets fire, causes crash 'looking for next wife'
A crazy call about a basement fire, a car crash and an apartment disturbance landed a man in the custody of Wolcott police.
Wolcott man allegedly set home on fire, crashed while fleeing
According to Wolcott police, 23-year-old Alex Chambrella started a fire in the basement of his Edgemont Lane home around 8 a.m. They say Chambrella’s grandmother, who lives with him, was not hurt, but one cat died in the blaze, another was cut on its face and is okay overall, and the third is still missing.
Alex Chambrella allegedly lit a fire in the basement of a house located on Edgemont lane before fleeing in a relative's car. He then crashed that car into his own car as well as a nearby parked one, and then flipped the relative's car on Coe Road after hitting a patch of ice. After leaving the crashed car he caught a ride from a passer-by to a nearby apartment complex. He then wandered around the complex banging on doors, allegedly, "looking for his next wife." When police arrived to arrest him he was wearing only pajama pants and claimed to be God. He has currently been charged with arson and cruelty to animals, but police are still investigating this case. Drugs are suspected to be a factor in this case.
