A 19-year-old is accused of arson after a Tuesday night dumpster fire at a northwest Las Vegas Valley gas station where he works.
Las Vegas Fire Department arson investigators arrested Ramesh D. Graham on a third-degree arson charge. He was jailed in Clark County Detention Center, where he remained Wednesday morning. His bail was set at $3,000.
