NEWALLA, Okla. (AP) — Cleveland County authorities have arrested a man for arson in connection with a mobile home fire near Newalla where a woman's body was found.

Sheriff's spokeswoman Meghan McCormick said Wednesday that 31-year-old Cody Wayne Fish was arrested shortly after the Monday night fire about a mile from the mobile home and is being held on an arson complaint. McCormick said investigators have been told Fish lived in the mobile home.

The woman's body was found after firefighters extinguished the blaze and it was sent to the state medical examiner's office for an autopsy to determine the cause of death. Her name has not been released.
