An east Cobb man who was the subject of an hours-long search Wednesday morning set his own condo on fire, officials said.
“The fire has been ruled arson,” Cobb County fire Lt. Dan Dupree told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Matthew Olson, 31, was arrested on a charge of arson in the first degree.
It wasn’t the fire in the 4000 block of Audubon Drive that first caught officials’ attention. It was a 911 call they received about 3:45 a.m. from Olson’s family members, Dupree said.
