Jeffery England has signed a time waiver in Allen County Common Pleas Court. Lawyers now have an indefinite amount of time to reach a resolution or prepare for trial. Police say England confessed to starting the fire at 122 N. Elizabeth street back in June. England was homeless and was with two other men inside the building. Police say an argument broke out and England set a blanket on fire and left trying to kill the other two men. 

An Allen County Grand Jury has released their indictments from their August session. Some of these people are involved in recent crimes we’ve been keeping you up to date on.

The man who allegedly set fire to a downtown Lima building last week, made his first court appearance. 40-year-old Jeffery England appeared in a video call at Lima Municipal Court and more details have come out about the fire at 122 N. Elizabeth St. Police say when England confessed to starting the fire, he also said he was trying to kill two men inside the building. England, a homeless man, had an argument with the other two men and set a blanket on fire and left. The building was ruled a total loss and demolished. Not long after the fire began on June 23, England turned himself in to the Lima Police. The fire department hasn't reported finding anyone in the aftermath. England's bond is set at $750,000. He has a preliminary hearing on Thursday.

Lima Fire Department's investigation found similar information to the Lima Police Department. So the way they moved forward with handling this building was a bit different than usual. Lima fire crews responded to the call about a quarter to 9 p.m. Tuesday night. Flames were seen coming from the windows on the third floor. Fire Chief Andy Heffner says his crews made an aggressive approach to put it out but were pushed out by the heavy smoke and flames.
