The ambulance employee accused of setting four fires across the state in a span of hours last month was being extradited from Pennsylvania back to Connecticut Tuesday to face charges in connection with one of the arsons.
Old Saybrook police said in a news release that Richard White, 37, of Torrington, has being charged with third-degree arson and third-degree burglary after he illegally entered a Hunter’s Ambulance facility in their town on Feb. 27 and lit and threw a Molotov cocktail that started a fire.
He’s also wanted in Meriden, where police have an arrest warrant charging him with criminal attempt at first-degree arson and manufacturing of bombs for throwing an “already lit object” out of his driver’s side window and striking a Hunter’s Ambulance building in the city less than an hour after the Old Saybrook incident.
