New York State Police today charged a 31-year-old Farmington man with arson for setting fire to the Dollar General Store in Farmington on January 20th.
Ariel Ferrer was charged additionally with resisting arrest.
Troopers say Ferrer was at the scene of the fire as he made a number of suspicious acts when the fire was first discovered. Investigators seized physical evidence which pointed to him as a suspect. That included video from the store security system which reportedly shows Ferrer starting the fire.
