I have NO idea what the cops are saying, but here is what was reported:
A Jersey City man was arrested this morning after attacking a streetlamp electrical box with a baseball bat in an apparent attempt to break into it and then setting it on fire, officials said. Willie Hill, 34, of Garfield Avenue, was arrested at the corner of Fulton and Ocean avenues at just after midnight and charged with arson, reports said, and firefighters put out the fire.
A witness told police Hill was hitting the box with the bat at Woodlawn and Garfield avenues and then torched it, reports said, adding that the witness said Hill had attacked the same electrical box with a bat about six months earlier.
The area of the fire smelled of an accelerant, possibily gasoline, reports said.
The witness said Hill had been carrying a blue laundry bottle and a similar bottle was found in a nearby garbage can, reports said, adding that a sample of the liquid in the bottle is being sent for testing.
