A fire in the Town of Lebanon earlier this week has been charged out as an arson.  A criminal complaint and arrest warrant has been issued for 21 year old Fernando A. Castillo, who’s charged with 1st degree recklessly endangering safety, arson of a building, arson of personal property, and criminal damage to property.   The criminal complaint alleges Castillo started two cars on fire Wednesday afternoon at a Worm Road residence.  The fire then spread to a garage destroying it and all it’s contents.  Firefighters from New London, Manawa, and Bear Creek battled the blaze.  The complaint says writings that were spray-painted on the garage doors led them to suspect Castillo set the fire.  He faces over 55 years in prison if convicted.  No initial appearance date has yet been set.
