Arrest Made in Cornus Hill Mansion Arson

Written by

Fairlawn Police have made an arrest in connection to the arson fire at the Cornus Hill Mansion back on January 13th. 

Sgt. Mark Schlegel with Fairlawn PD tells the 1590 WAKR Newsroom that 18-year-old Donavin Gowin of Barberton is under arrest and charged with Arson. He says that Gowin turned himself in to Akron Municipal Court on Thursday morning. 

Three other juveniles were with Gowin at the scene of the fire, but Sgt. Schlegel says they were not involved with the arson. They have been charged, but only with misdemeanor criminal mischief. Sgt. Schlegel says they do not believe that there was any intent or premeditation. 

The home was vacant at the time of the fire, and has been for the past several years.
