A Florida man was arrested on Saturday after deputies said he lit a stuffed animal on fire and left it in a Wal-mart a day after being fired from the store.

Tiberrus Brown, 20, was fired from a Manatee-area Walmart on Friday at around 11 p.m. when he reportedly lied on his time card, the Bradenton Herald reports. Deputies said Brown stayed on the property until 7 a.m. the next day with loss prevention surveillance footage showing him walking into the toy aisle just before the fire began.

Brown told deputies that he was "playing with a borrowed lighter in (the toy aisle) of Walmart" and "the ear of a teddy bear may have caught on fire." The Bradenton Herald reports authorities estimated $250,000 in damage due to the fire caused by Brown.

He was arrested and charged with first-degree arson of an occupied dwelling.
