LISBON FALLS, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- The State Fire Marshal's Office has charged a Lisbon man with setting his house on fire on Sunday morning.
Officials charged 41-year-old Michael D. Hersom with an Arson charge after a fire heavily damaged his home at 12 Huston Street. Hersome was recently released from jail on an unrelated charge, and got into a fight with his wife, who left with many of her belongings.
Fire investigators say after she left the house, Hersom set fire to her remaining belongings in the bedroom. The fire quickly spread throughout the house.
Hersom was arrested late Sunday afternoon and taken to the Androscoggin County Jail.
