Thanks for the words so far, it falls under the florida statute as follows:
Title XLVI
CRIMES Chapter 806
ARSON AND CRIMINAL MISCHIEF View Entire Chapter
806.01 Arson.--
(1) Any person who willfully and unlawfully, or while in the commission of any felony, by fire or explosion, damages or causes to be damaged:
(a) Any dwelling, whether occupied or not, or its contents;
(b) Any structure, or contents thereof, where persons are normally present, such as: jails, prisons, or detention centers; hospitals, nursing homes, or other health care facilities; department stores, office buildings, business establishments, churches, or educational institutions during normal hours of occupancy; or other similar structures; or
(c) Any other structure that he or she knew or had reasonable grounds to believe was occupied by a human being,
is guilty of arson in the first degree, which constitutes a felony of the first degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s. 775.084.
And cda, the building is open 24/7 for use of its atm machine located inside, and no there was noone else in the building, the report also states it. Also, to jgmcfps, swim has no idea how good the video is that shows the smoke as he was leaving and the actual sink wasn't on fire, there was a paper towel or napkin burning in the sink. thanks
