Carbondale Police are still searching for a suspect in an arson fire set outside the Ashley Furniture store on Monday evening. Authorities say wood and cardboard – possibly taken from the dumpster, was lit on fire outside the building.

A second fire authorities say was intentionally set happened later Monday night inside an unoccupied apartment on North Gum Street. 23 year old Arius Williams is facing aggravated arson charges in that blaze.

Authorities say they do not believe the two fires are connected.
