Randolph Man Charged with Arson
A Randolph man has been charged with arson in connection to mobile home fires last month in the Town of Napoli.
Cattaraugus County Sheriff's deputies say 19-year-old Benjamin Finch started a fire in his neighbor's home on January 5 and again on January 7.
They say in the early morning hours of January 5 David Workman, the resident of the home, awoke to the sound of a smoke alarm. He was able to put the fire out himself after fighting it for about an hour. On January 7 when the other fire was started, Workman called the East Randolph Fire Department.
Finch was charged with second- and third-degree arson and released on his own recognizance.
