Walker Craig was arrested Friday, August 28, by the Houlton Police Department on a warrant charging him with arson and aggravated criminal mischief. The warrant was issued following an investigation by State Fire Marshal investigators, in consultation with the Aroostook County District Attorney’s Office.
