Three are indicted in '04 school fire
Three men accused of setting fire to a school almost two years ago in Milford, N.H., were indicted by a grand jury last week. The Garden Street Elementary School was destroyed and three firefighters were injured in the fire, in March 2004. Arrested and charged last week were Scott Poissant, 19, of Manchester and Ryann Hopwood, 22, of Middleton, Mass. Each faces 12 charges, including arson, burglary and conspiracy, reckless conduct, and assault. Jacob McDonald of Milford, who was a juvenile at the time of the fire but who now is 18, was indicted on eight charges. He is being charged as an adult. A police affidavit says Hopwood confessed that the three had started the fire to divert police and firefighters, so they could break into Milford High School and steal an ID card maker. They allegedly abandoned the burglary plan. (AP)
