A Michigan man, Harrison Jones, 21, from Rockford, was arrested after driving over 700 miles to Pennsylvania, where he allegedly set fire to a home in a tragic incident that resulted in the death of two dogs and nearly claimed the lives of a family of six.

According to the Bensalem Police Department, Jones targeted the residence after discovering the homeowner had been communicating online with his ex-girlfriend. Surveillance footage showed a black sedan arriving at the scene around 5 a.m. The suspect was seen approaching the home before fleeing just before the fire broke out, leading to an explosion.

The family inside managed to escape the blaze, although they were forced to jump from second-story windows to survive. Bensalem Public Safety Director William McVey lauded the mother’s quick thinking, which saved her family from the inferno. However, the family’s two dogs, Trey and Jett, perished in the fire. “It’s a miracle they all survived,” McVey commented on the escape.

Arrest and Charges

Jones was apprehended two days later, with authorities linking him to the scene through the vehicle used in the crime. He exhibited burns on his arm at the time of his arrest, indicating his involvement. Charged with six counts of attempted homicide, arson, and related offences, Jones is awaiting extradition to Pennsylvania.

The victims, identified as Andrew and Stacy Zalenski, their children, Alex and Ava, and Stacy’s parents, Joe and Karen Wendowski, lost everything in the blaze. “This family suffered such inconceivable loss,” stated Bucks County District Attorney Jennifer Schorn, emphasizing the severity of the defendant’s actions.

A GoFundMe campaign has been set up in response to the tragedy to aid the Zalenski family’s recovery. Furthermore, the Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) announced plans to dedicate a kennel to remember the family’s dogs, honouring Trey and Jett’s memory.

The case has triggered extensive online discussion, with one user noting the lengthy drive as a missed opportunity for second thoughts: “That’s at least 11-12 hours of driving (one way) to come to your senses and think, ‘Hey maybe this is not such a good idea’!”
