NASHUA, N.H. (AP) – Police have charged a man who was renovating a house with torching it last week.

James Rainville, 31, of Nashua was arrested a day after the fire on Nov. 13, but police didn’t announce it until Friday. They said his connection to the fire was concealed while the investigation was being concluded.

Police say the home owner had hired Rainville to help renovate it, and that he had been working there for some time.
