EDDINGTON — The Maine Fire Marshal’s Office arrested a former Maine resident Thursday in connection with a 2024 arson at a closed restaurant in Eddington.
Luther Green, 59, of Banks, Alabama, was taken into custody on May 8 with assistance from the Pike County Sheriff’s Office on charges of arson and burglary.
Green, formerly of Eddington, was flown back to Maine by Fire Marshal investigators and transported to the Penobscot County Jail.
The charges stem from a fire on July 3, 2024, that damaged the Heritage on 9 Restaurant and Tavern located at 999 Main Road.
The business had closed in 2023 and was unoccupied at the time of the fire.
The arrest follows a yearlong investigation by the Maine State Fire Marshal’s Office.
No additional information is available as the investigation remains active.
