Arson Suspect Caught at Olive Park | Kansas City News

In Kansas City, Kevone Allen faces arson and burglary charges after being caught sneaking into a vacant building at the notorious Olive Park Village Apartments — a complex plagued by over thirty fires this year. Police used a drone to locate him hiding inside, found lighters on him, and later discovered a backpack full of matches. The site, marked with “do not enter” signs, has drawn repeated fire department responses, including injuries to firefighters. Residents have endured the chaos since early this year, and the federal government pulled its contract from the owners in January over unsafe conditions. A lawsuit now demands repairs or sale of the property, with a judge ordering the owners to cover demolition and legal costs.
