ARSONIST UPDATE
By By DON BOND For the Norwich Bulletin
Posted Feb 29, 2008 @ 10:54 PM
DANIELSON -- A Hampton man accused of
setting a fire that badly damaged a barn owned by the town fire chief
has been charged with setting several other fires in 2006.
Thomas M. Nedweden, 27, of 30 Kenyon Road,
was served with arrest warrants Friday, charging him with five counts of
third-degree arson and two counts of first-degree criminal mischief in
connection with arson fires in Mansfield, Ashford and Hampton.
Several barns and other outbuildings were
destroyed or damaged in the fires that happened in October 2006.
The warrants were served after Nedweden
was brought to Danielson Superior Court Friday in connection with a Feb.
3 fire that heavily damaged a barn at 45 Old Kings Highway, Hampton,
owned by Hampton Fire Chief Richard Schenk.
Nedweden was arrested two days later and
charged with first-degree arson and three counts of criminal attempt to
commit first-degree arson. The latter charges were the result of
Nedweden attempting to start a fire at a home near the scene of the barn
fire, police said.
Nedweden is in the custody of the state
Department of Correction after he did not post a $400,000 bond in
connection with his original arrest and an aborted attempt to escape
from the Danielson state police barracks once he had been taken into
custody.
State police said Friday the charges
against Nedweden were the result of a lengthy police investigation.
State police provided the following
breakdown of the new charges for the 2006 fires:
- Third-degree arson for a fire that
burned down a barn Oct. 10 on Mt. Hope Road, Mansfield.
- Third-degree arson for a fire that
destroyed a hunting lodge Oct. 11 on Tower Hill Road Cutoff in
Chaplin.
- Third-degree arson for a fire at a
chicken coop Oct. 12 at 863 Warrenville Road, Mansfield.
- Third-degree arson and first-degree
criminal mischief for a fire that damaged an outbuilding and several
small grass fires Oct. 25 at 971-973 Route 89, Mansfield.
- Third-degree arson and first-degree
criminal mischief for a fire that destroyed a storage barn Oct. 30
at 35 Pompey Hollow Road, Ashford.
Nedweden appeared in court to face the new
charges Friday in Danielson Superior Court, where his case was
continued. He remains in custody at the Corrigan Correctional
Institution in Montville.

ARSON ALERT
Please be aware that there is a serious arson problem in town.
Barns and
other "outbuildings" are being targeted.
The fires
occur during the night and the perpetrator is using whatever
he/she finds at the site to ignite the blaze. The best course
of action, according to the Fire Marshall, is to secure any
outbuildings and don’t leave anything available that could be
used to start a fire. Please call 911 immediately if you see or
hear anything suspicious in the night – if your dog starts
barking for no apparent reason, a strange car is around, etc.
Please pass
the word on to anyone you know who has a barn or a shed.
