(Coloradoan) — Investigators arrested a 29-year-old man associated with Occupy Fort Collins on suspicion of setting the Oct. 24 fire that destroyed an Old Town condominium complex and severely damaged another.
Benjamin David Gilmore, 29 of Fort Collins was arrested last night and is suspected of first-degree arson, second-degree burglary and criminal mischief in connection with the fire, which burned the building at 311 Mason Street and damaged the next-door Penny Flats residential and mixed-use retail building.
“He didn’t do it,” his wife, Rebekah Gilmore, said this morning when called by the Coloradoan. She said he has no connection with the buildings and has “no idea” why he is suspected of the crime. He’s never been accused of arson, she said.
Gilmore is being held on a $250,000 bond and is set for an advisement hearing in court this afternoon.
As a result of the joint investigation, the cause of the fire has been classified as incendiary; a fire which was intentionally set.
The damage to the building is estimated at approximately $10 million.
