LISBON — A Jan. 7 preliminary hearing was set in county Municipal Court for Justin Lee Randolph, 27, Desellem Road, Lisbon, accused of setting a fire in a Days Inn hotel room on Tuesday. Due to the amount of damage, more than $7,500, the vandalism charge is a fourth-degree felony.
Court documents indicate the fire set of an alarm and activated the sprinklers, damaging multiple rooms on both the first and second floor and the evacuation of other hotel guests. The water damaged not only the ceilings and floors in the rooms, but also the beds, TVs and personal belongings of guests.
Randolph posted the $30,000 cash or surety bond and was released from the county jail on Thursday after his arraignment by video in front of Judge Katelyn Dickey.
