Former Seneca firefighter arrested for arson

(KMZA)--A former Seneca volunteer firefighter has been arrested for allegedly setting two fires.

Nemaha County Attorney Brad Lippert said a complaint has been filed in Nemaha County District Court charging 40-year-old David Frehe, of Seneca, with two counts of arson.

Lippert said the first count stems from a fire at a vacant dwelling in Seneca on May 1, 2019, and the second count from a pasture fire in rural Nemaha County on November 4, 2020.

The case was investigated by the Nemaha County Sheriff's Office, the Seneca Police Department and the Office of the State Fire Marshal.

Frehe was arrested Monday and was released shortly after posting a $10,000 bond.

He is scheduled to make his first appearance in court on April 27.
