DRYDEN — A Thunder Bay woman is facing arson charges in Dryden after a fire at a local apartment building.
Ontario Provincial Police on Thursday said they received a call at about 5 p.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 8 reporting a fire at the Duke Street apartment building.
The small fire was quickly put out by the Dryden Fire Service, and it was determined it was deliberately set.
As a result, a 33-year-old woman faces charges of arson with damage to property and two counts of failure to comply with an undertaking.
The accused has been held for a bail hearing and was expected in Ontario Provincial Court on Thursday.
Police ask that anyone with information regarding the incident contact the OPP non-emergency line or Crime Stoppers.
It is Newswatch policy not to name people facing criminal accusations when we are unlikely to follow the case to its conclusion in the courts.
