BOGALUSA - Deputies arrested a Washington Parish man after he allegedly set fire to a home with someone inside. 

Early Wednesday morning, the Bogalusa Fire Department was called for a house fire. The home's single occupant made it out mostly unharmed but was taken to the hospital for burns and carbon monoxide poisoning. 

After a request for the State Fire Marshal's Office to investigate, officials found the fire to be intentionally set and Joshua Patterson, 32, was identified as a suspect. 

Patterson was arrested Wednesday and booked for aggravated arson.
