LISBON, N.D. (KFGO) – Court documents say a Lisbon, North Dakota man charged with setting fire to an apartment building Monday afternoon admitted to several people that he was responsible for the blaze.
20 year-old Quentin Leonard faces charges of felony arson, reckless endangerment and endangering by fire. Leonard is also charged with criminal mischief for hitting and breaking a window with his head at a home in Sheldon. A report from the Ransom County Sheriff’s department says Leonard was upset because he thought another man had been sleeping with his girlfriend.
Five people who were living the four-plex in Lisbon that was destroyed by fire, they lost everything. Leonard is in the Barnes County jail with bail set at $200-thousand dollars.
