CHADWICKS, N.Y. – A man accused in two arsons that happened in December is now facing a third arson charge following the fire at Word of Life Church on Oneida Street in Chadwicks Sunday night.
New Hartford police have charged 43-year-old Mark Palmano with third-degree arson in connection to the basement fire set at the church just before 10 p.m. on Sunday.
In late December, Palmano was charged with two counts of third-degree arson regarding fires set at Mangia Macrina’s and the former Zebb’s restaurant, both located on Seneca Turnpike in New Hartford.
Police say because of new bail reform laws, Palmano could not be held on bail for the previous arson charges.
