Logansport police and fire departments are investigating several incidents that happened early in the morning along a stretch of East Broadway Street.

First, a response to a vehicle on fire in the back of 2127 East Broadway. The fire was put out with minor damage to the garage near it.

Next, officers received a call for criminal mischief to a vehicle in the 1900 block of East Broadway. That was followed by a similar call in the 2000 block.

While officers were on the scene of the second criminal mischief call it was reported that a man had displayed a handgun and requested money from a woman. The man ran from the scene. Charistopher Zarate, 20, was eventually arrested and charged with offenses related to the arson and criminal mischief cases.

Logansport Police say they are still investigating the armed robbery call. They are asking for anyone who lives in the area or may have seen anything suspicious in the 2000 block of East Broadway or alley to the north of Broadway to contact Detective Flaude Dillon at 574-725-2826 or email rdillon@logansportpolice.com .
