A federal grand jury last week returned an indictment against Kentucky man Nathan Riddle, accusing him of setting the Burkesville City Hall/Police Department headquarters of fire in October 2020 in what had been a successful bid to destroy the blood sample evidence against him in a driving under the influence case from earlier that month, the Lexington Herald-Leader reports.
It’s not clear if Riddle has any plan to open a water main to flood the room containing whatever evidence prosecutors have in the arson case against him, but he’s probably working on that now.
