LIVERMORE FALLS — A Livermore Falls man was arrested today and charged with arson in connection with a fire that damaged a downtown business this week.
Fire investigators charged Scott Violette, 36, with arson and violating probation. He was arrested at the Livermore Falls police department, where he had been questioned earlier in the day.
The fire started by the front door of the Treasure Chest, a secondhand shop on Depot Street.
