A 53-year-old Vancouver man is facing a first-degree arson charge for allegedly setting fire inside of a room at a Salmon Creek hotel.
Clark County Superior Court Judge David Gregerson set bail in the case against Cravann A. Sturgis at $10,000 during a first appearance hearing Thursday. An arraignment hearing is scheduled for Feb. 11.
Sturgis was the registered occupant of a room at Red Lion & Suites Vancouver, 13206 N.E. Highway 99, starting Jan. 5, after being referred to the hotel by a mental health organization, according to an affidavit of probable cause. The affidavit says Sturgis has “known, stated or observed mental health issues.”

Fred Leslie Edward Shreves appeared Wednesday in Clark County Superior Court on suspicion of second-degree rape. His bail was set at $60,000. An arraignment hearing is scheduled for Feb. 10.
A Vancouver Police Department detective began re-examining the then-17-year-old case in March after the test kit was resubmitted due to advances in DNA testing, according to an affidavit of probable cause.
The kit was originally tested at a Washington state lab and semen was detected, but no DNA matches were found. That changed in February, when swabs were tested and resulted in a match to Shreves, according to the affidavit.
