A wanted fugitive known as "Rocket Man" on social media was arrested in Texas nearly two months after driving a truck that was hauling a flaming trailer, authorities said Monday.

The incident happened on July 31 in Kaufman County, and video recorded at the time showed the trailer fully engulfed in flames. The burning trailer caused numerous grass fires and damaged several properties and a shed, the Kaufman County Fire Marshal’s Office said.

The suspected driver was identified as 43-year-old Jeffrey Furr, a wanted fugitive at the time of the arson, FOX4 Dallas-Fort Worth reported.

The suspect was arrested about 100 miles away in Hood County, fire officials said. He is awaiting arraignment on a charge of arson.
