NORWAY, Maine — A South Paris man is facing multiple charges in connection with a fire in Norway earlier this month, according to Maine Department of Public Safety spokesman Stephen McCausland.
Andrew Freeman, 21, is facing two counts of aggravated attempted murder in addition to single counts of arson and burglary, McCausland said in an email.
The State Fire Marshal’s Office said Freeman broke into a home in the predawn hours on Dec. 5.
McCausland said Freeman set two fires inside the home while a man, his wife and granddaughter were asleep.
The man discovered the fires and put them out before the house was seriously damaged. Nobody was hurt.
Freeman was taken to the Androscoggin County Jail, where he remained Friday.
If convicted, Freeman faces up to 40 years in prison on the two attempted murder counts and the arson charge, all Class A crimes, and up to 10 years on the burglary charge, a Class B offense.
Why did he do such a deplorable thing? Trying to kill three people in such an uncaring way. I’m glad the man woke up and was able to put out the fire. The arsonist needs to be put away for a long time.
hmm is there a caring way to kill people? Please share
It’s called lethal injection.
He more than deserves the max of 50 years and NO parole!
Last name Freeman.LOL. Not for long I hope!
More to the story?
according to comments on other media coverage in southern/central Maine of this he has 4 protection orders against him in Oxford county and that is why he was in jail for violating one of those…sounds like there is certainly way more to this story…
It’s a shame the homeowner didn’t have his loaded shotgun readily available!
had he been put away for child molestation, it would not have happened
yes but they took the papers out of the briefcase when the guy stepped out of the room and they went home a burned the papers, the girl he raped lives just up the road from me and he used to to ive had many bad encounters with andrew and i hope he sits and rots in prison
Um, can you write that in english please. It sounds like you have some information to share, but you aren’t making much sense…
All I can say is: TURNED OUT!!
This is an example of how the liberal judicial system counts.
“. . Freeman set TWO fires . . “, that equals ” . . SINGLE count of arson . .”
1+1 = 1
“. . while a man, his wife and granddaughter were asleep.” that equals “. . facing TWO counts of aggravated attempted murder . .”
1+1+1 = 2
It’s called “new math”, don’t try to understand it.
Just a self defense tip to others, to solve a problem like this, get an Equalizer (The Judge).
That can finish any similar equation that may present itself to you in the future.
Then the answer will be Zero.
