Man accused of arson at local inn
Dayne Damas, 18, was found guilty of arson at the Wooster Moose Lodge.
Ohio State Fire Marshallís Office Investigator Brian Peterman stated that the fire patterns inside the structure implied that someone poured alcohol on the bar and set fire. Judge Mark K. Wiest noted that Damasí and his accomplice Eric Beardís stories were inconsistent in terms of who started the fire, but that Damas could still be found guilty on grounds of complicity.
Damas will be sentenced later today.
