MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. — An arson investigation led to a southwest Miami-Dade man’s arrest after a fire was set inside a popular art supply store in the Kendall area.
The incident happened on April 1 at the Michaels arts and crafts store located at 8354 S. Dixie Highway, within the Dadeland Station shopping center.
According to an arrest form, deputies identified Giancarlo Quarta, 30, as the suspect who intentionally set fire to the rear door of the business.
