HENDERSON, Ky. (WEHT) – A man arrested following a standoff in Evansville in 2023 has now been charged with arson.

Quinyatte Harrell was arrested in Mt. Vernon earlier this week. Harrell was arrested last summer following a standoff in the 1200 block of Madison Avenue in Evansville.

First responders were sent to a house fire on Tuesday, which police believe was intentionally set. Police say Harrell admitted to setting the fire to destroy the home.

No one was inside the home at the time of the fire.
