Deputies are searching for a Paducah man after a dispute reportedly led to a camper fire.

On Tuesday, Emergency Services received a report of a fire on Butler Lane. Once on the scene, officials found an empty trailer fully engulfed in flames.

Through evidence gathered at the scene, deputies say it was determined that 24-year-old Vaden W. Rupke, who allegedly lived in the camper at that address, had intentionally set the fire. Detectives say Rupcke had been in an argument with the property owner earlier in the day.

Rupcke is currently wanted on an arrest warrant for third-degree arson.

He is white, 5 feet 6 inches tall, weighs approximately 135 pounds with brown hair and blue eyes. Deputies say a current photo of Rupcke was not available and he may have facial hair.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the McCracken County Sheriff's Office or their local law enforcement agency.
