DUBUQUE, Iowa (AP) — A trial has been scheduled for a Dubuque man who police say told officers he set his apartment ablaze so he could get arrested and have a bed and three meals a day while in custody. Dubuque County District Court records say 33-year-old Matthew Voseberg has pleaded not guilty to arson. His trial is set to begin Sept. 25th. Authorities say Voseberg was sitting on his apartment’s front porch when they arrived July 4. They say he told them he was in his apartment when he started thinking about where he could get “three hots and a cot.”

Another building resident told authorities that Voseberg warned her he’d set the fire and told her to get out. Authorities say the fire caused about $7,800 in damage.

Omaha area television news outlets are reporting water rescue crews were called to Carter Lake early this morning, to search for a vehicle that may have entered the west side of the lake. Authorities report Omaha Police officers saw headlights suddenly vanish near the lake sometime around 4:30-a.m. When they approached the area off Carter Lake Shore Drive, police didn’t find a vehicle, but they did find tire tracks leading up to the lake. No one actually saw a vehicle actually go into the water, and it’s not clear if a vehicle is in the lake, but crews are searching the area as if that was the case.

More information will be released if it becomes available.
