SHEFFIELD LAKE — Two 18-year-old Elyria men are accused of setting a fire that burned a Ferndale Park concession stand to the ground in May.
Justin Scealf and Christopher Hamrick were each charged with fourth-degree felony arson Tuesday.
“We didn’t have many leads, but then we received a few tips that the persons involved were these men,” Sheffield Lake police Capt. Tony Campo said.
Firefighters were called to extinguish the concession stand fire about 5:30 a.m. May 31. Campo said both Scealf and Hamrick have not been cooperating with police.
“They’re not the most cooperative,” he said. “I think this was just some stupid act that resulted from too much boredom, and maybe too much fun beforehand. There’s some indication that they had left a party before the fire.”
