(LAFAYETTE) - Lafayette police tell The Journal & Courier newspaper a 12-year-old boy urinated on an outlet at Sunnyside Intermediate School on Friday to set the school on fire.
Fire investigators say he managed to start a small fire, but also tripped the smoke alarm.
Someone ran in with a fire extinguisher and put out the flames before they could spread beyond the outlet.
The Journal & Courier says the boy was arrested for criminal recklessness and taken to a juvenile holding facility.
