A city man has been indicted for allegedly setting fire inside a garbage can in the vestibule area at the Bank of America branch in downtown Paterson, according to the Passaic County Prosecutor’s Office.
Reshawn Evans, 27-year-old, was indicted last week by a grand jury on two counts of aggravated arson, and risking widespread injury or damage.
Authorities said on April 26, Evans allegedly set a fire inside a garbage can in a vestibule at the Bank of America located at 190 Main Street. The fire did not affect any adjoining structures and no one was injured.
Evans could face a maximum of 10 years in prison if convicted.
