A Stearns County criminal complaint says police responded to a fire Thursday morning on the 400 block of Minnie Street in Paynesville. Police arrived to find a trailer home fully engulfed in flames and saw 42-year-old Nicholas Kevin Voss near it. Police affirmed that the trailer was where Voss lived.
Voss allegedly told police that he started the fire.
