Suspected Cleveland Arsonist Arrested

The Cleveland Police Department has announced that William Colderwood has been arrested in connection with the massive explosion on West 83rd Street that was ruled arson recently. Calderwood lived next door to the abandoned house and was quick to blame the gas company for the blaze. Investigators would later find out that he had been arrested twice before in connection to arson and was named a person of interest yesterday and a warrant was quickly obtained for his arrest last night. Calderwood was detained by police just before midnight by the fugitive task force.

The Cleveland Fire Department is continuing its investigation and are still asking the public for information. They can be reached at 216-664-6380. Their arson hotline is posted around the west 83rd street neighborhood.
