"Man Arrested for Arson in Las Vegas Apartment Complex Fire"
[!CDATA[A man in Las Vegas was arrested for allegedly setting fire to an apartment complex after his rent was increased. The accused, identified as 66-year-old Clinton Hogan Jr., was charged with first-degree arson. The incident occurred on May 5 at a complex on Boulder Highway, where firefighters responded to a fire at the leasing office. Hogan was apprehended the same day with incriminating items in his possession, including a lighter, paint solvent, and a bottle of whiskey. According to court records, Hogan admitted to police that he was no longer a resident at the apartment complex because of the high rent. He also confessed to drinking at the time of the incident. Witnesses reported seeing someone matching Hogan's description pouring fluid in front of the leasing office, where the fire originated. Hogan remains in custody with a $20,000 bail, and his next court hearing is scheduled for May 22. For more information on this case, USA TODAY reached out to the Clark County Court but has not received a response. The investigation into the arson incident involving Hogan is ongoing, and further updates may be provided as the case progresses.]]
