Officials have arrested and charged a North Little Rock man with arson after two Little Rock coffee shops were set on fire.
In a press release, the United State Attorney for the Eastern District of Arkansas announced that 48-year-old Trent Smith was charged in connection to the fires.
The Little Rock Fire Department responded to the fires on March 3 at two separate locations of The Grind Coffee Bistro.
Heaven McKinney, the owner of the stores, identified Smith as her former boyfriend.
"I had the opportunity to follow my dreams and I did and it just hurts," McKinney told us a day after the fires.
The investigation is still ongoing.
