(KAIR)--A Leavenworth man has entered a plea in connection with an arson earlier this year at the Leavenworth business where he had been employed.
According to a release from Leavenworth County Attorney Todd Thompson, Troy Grimm, Jr., last week in Leavenworth County District Court, “plead no contest to arson for the March 22, 2022 fire at 513 N. 10th Street,” the location of the Towne Pub.
The release explains that the Leavenworth Police Department investigated the arson at the establishment that had employed Grimm and fired him the very morning of the fire.
The investigation led to the apprehension of the 23-year-old Grimm at his Leavenworth residence. It was there, the release says, that police “found materials used to make the Molotov cocktails that were similar to those found at the Towne Pub.”
The fire caused no damage to rain, and no one was hurt.
Sentencing for Grimm is set for the afternoon of September 28.
