Gary Warren Gill, of Green Cove Springs, was charged with arson and resisting law enforcement after the police and fire rescue responded on Aug. 12 to the fire, according to the arrest report. An anonymous caller reported the fire at 3:21 a.m. When they arrived, they found Gill hiding behind a closed door. They also heard him stack things to block the door from opening.

Investigators said they determined the fire was intentionally set.

Once inside, Gill briefly wrestled with law enforcement before being detained.

Gill’s bond was set at $85,005.
