COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KOAA) — A man has been arrested for arson for the second time this year, according to the Colorado Springs Police Department (CSPD).
Police say Brandon Hugney was arrested Sunday around 4:45 p.m. in the 4800 block of Lorna Place, which is located near the intersection of Galley Road and Wooten Road.
According to CSPD, they responded to assist the fire department after a fire started behind a building in the area. They say they contacted Hugney and developed probable cause to arrest him.
Last month, Hugney was arrested after CSPD identified him as a suspect in a fire near Palmer Park Boulevard and North Powers Boulevard. While investigating, police say they connected him to four other fires.

Proposed annexation could double a small Colorado town's population
A fifth-generation rancher has no official say as a massive housing development is proposed right next to his land. He lives just outside the town limits of Calhan, so he can't vote on the project that could double the town's size and threaten his way of life.
