2-yr.-old Arson Solved
A WAUSEON, OHIO, MAN WAS ARRESTED TUESDAY and charged with 14 counts of arson and insurance fraud connected with a downtown fire that destroyed seven business in April, 2007.
Charles Bryan was taken by Wauseon police to the Northwest Ohio corrections center where he was held until his arraignment in county court this afternoon. He was the owner of a restaurant where the fire started.
Following the fire Bryan and his wife formed a company to develop the lots where the destroyed buildings stood, promising to rebuild his restaurant and other retail spaces. A state development grant of $500,000 was approved to help pay for the $700,000 initial outlay, but several of the investors pulled out of the project earlier this year.
Suspicion was raised initially because just three months before the multi-million-dollar fire occurred there was a small fire set in the restaurant. In May, 2007, the fire marshal announced that the destructive fire was an arson.
