On Thursday, May 8, 2025, the Maine Fire Marshal’s Office with the assistance of the Pike County Sheriff’s Office arrested 59-year-old Luther Green of Banks, Alabama, formerly of Eddington, Maine, on charges of arson and burglary in connection with a 2024 fire in Eddington. Green was taken into custody in Alabama on an active arrest warrant and flown back to Maine by Maine Fire Marshal investigators and transported to the Penobscot County Jail.

The business had closed in 2023 and was not occupied at the time of the fire. The arrest follows a yearlong investigation by the Maine State Fire Marshal’s Office highlighting the complex and detailed work involved in fire investigations and the commitment to resolving arson cases. The Maine Fire Marshal’s Office would like to thank the Pike County Sheriff’s Office for their assistance. Given this remains an active investigation, no additional information is available at this time.
