DUMB CRIMINALS OF THE WEEK: FIRESTARTERS

by Hazed

Two felons from Great Falls are about to appear in court, charged with arson. They set fire to their apartment hoping to collect on the insurance money.

What makes them particularly dumb is that they left numerous clues to the fact that the fire was deliberately started – and that they were the culprits.

Brandon Fondren and Adrianne Davenport took out a renters’ insurance policy just ten days before the fire. According to a neighbour, they two moved many of their personal belongings into a storage shed and into their van.

Davenport has form – she was a suspect in a fire at the Imperial Inn in Great Falls a few years ago, and several other arson investigations too.

But the clincher was that when detectives searched the storage unit they found a fuel container with what seemed to be gasoline in it, and with gauze material sticking out of its spout – and a fire investigation manual titled “Introduction to Fire Origin and Causes”.

Busted!
