73-Year-Old Accused of Arson | Fayetteville Arkansas News

A 73-year-old man in Fayetteville is facing arson charges after allegedly setting fire to his own home last August, causing $370K in damage — and later collecting a $383K insurance payout. He turned himself in, denied starting the blaze, claimed his security camera was broken, and fled when police returned with a warrant — only to be caught trying to run into the woods. Prosecutors say he staged the fire to scam insurance, citing evidence from the fire marshal and video footage. His trial is set for October 8th, and two lawsuits involving him and his wife are also headed to court later this year.
