Man Charged with Attempted Homicide in
Connection to Ridgway Arson Fire

A Wilcox man is in jail on attempted homicide charges after being accused of trying to burn down a Ridgway house with six people inside.

22-year-old Philip Bradley Wolfel is accused of setting the Depot Street house on fire early last Thursday morning, a couple of hours after he was charged in connection to a fight he had with one of the residents of the house.

All the people in the house escaped, but a 16-year-old boy was treated at Elk Regional Health Center because he was having difficulty breathing several hours after the fire.

Wolfel is facing 23 charges including attempted homicide, arson, and causing a catastrophe.

He’s jailed on $25,000 bail.
