Was anyone ever charged or arrested for the Atlanta Walmart arson fires?

Both of these fires occurred in 2022, and as far as I can tell there has never been an arrest in either case. No charges, no updates nothing. Given how severe these fires were and the danger they put 100s of people in that day (in the stores), and the economic impact the closures had to the city tax base, seems like an important update?

But no, and it’s strange. I even followed up with a reporter that covered the story in 2022 to see if he could do an update, and he said “ too much time had past and it’s not a “fresh” story anymore” (this was 5 months ago).

Just seems like these fires fell through the cracks. Does anyone have any ideas? Genuinely curious

Should be an interesting tourist season in Myrtle. Spirit Airlines has collapsed and will shut down (reported today). They are the largest airline at Myrtle Beach Airport, with up to 30% of the total passenger volume serviced.

Vacation season and golf trips, here might look very different this year. If people can’t get to MB easily, they won’t come
