CONSTABLE -- A local teen spent a night behind bars after he allegedly set fire to a truck earlier this week.

Cody Murphy-Lachance was taken into custody within hours of when the 1986 Toyota pickup was torched early Friday morning.

The 19-year-old, who was not the owner of the truck, was arrested for third-degree arson, a felony charge that later landed him behind bars on $1,000 cash bail.

He was released from the Franklin County Jail Saturday morning after he posted bail and is expected to reappear in the Town of Constable Court Wednesday to face the charge.

Malone-based State Police said the pickup was destroyed in the blaze.

No additional information about his arrest was available Saturday.
