A man is in custody after a fire caused about $100,000 in damage to a five-storey apartment building in the 100 block of Clarke Street on Monday night.
Winnipeg police and firefighters responded at around 10:40 p.m. and safely evacuated residents. Investigators later determined the blaze had been deliberately set.
Officers arrested a suspect a few hours later in the early morning hours of Tuesday.
Justin Leonard Osborne, 31, has been charged with arson with disregard for human life and was also wanted on a warrant for failing to attend court. He remains in custody.
