Numerous firefighters were sent to 711 Mast Road on Feb. 21, 2016, for a multi-alarm fire at a building that contained a number of businesses including an auto repair shop, a printer, and a sign business. The building was unoccupied at the time, according to reports. State officials believed, at first, that the building caught on fire due to chemicals being stored in the building but later, reportedly determined that the fire was set.

Mitoulas will be arraigned at a later date.
