The U.S. Marshals Service arrested Lamont Richardson in Stearns County, Minnesota, and he is currently booked into Stearns County Jail, according to DPD Beat. His charge on Stearns County’s website is “fugitive from justice from other state.” No information on his bail amount was included. 

On Oct. 19, firefighters arrived on the scene in the 10000 block of Eastwood Drive and put out the RV fire that also damaged a home next to it. The residents of the home were not injured, but an older woman, identified as Leslie Morrow by WFAA, and her dog were found dead in the RV. The incident is being investigated as arson because surveillance footage captured video of a person getting out of a vehicle, carrying something and the fire starting up shortly after.

Those who know anything about this case, No. 150640-2025, should contact DPD’s Det. Kenneth Castoral at 469-781-1261 or via email at kenneth.castoral@dallaspolice.gov.
