Legal Question in Criminal Law in Pennsylvania

Arson?

My brother, who works at a paper towel warehouse, smelt smoke and ran over to find a palet on fire. He poured his drink on it, and tried to put it out. A coworker came over and asked what happened. Being sarcastic because he doesn't smoke and it's been proven that he does not, he said he threw a cigarette and to get help. a fire marshal came and wanted him to take a lie detector. should he before talking to a lawyer? can he lose his job and go to jail even though he didn't cause this? he has no record and has never been in any kind of trouble before.

Re: Arson?

Never talk to the police. It can not help you.

Getting a lawyer would be a wise step.

If you have any questions feel free to contact me. The initial consultation is free.
