Cassopolis woman arraigned on arson charges

A Cassopolis woman was arraigned last week on charges related to a fire she allegedly set at the Three Rivers Walmart earlier this summer.

Fawn Mott, 30, was charged with third-degree arson in connection with the June 23 fire that forced the store to close for two days.

She was arraigned in St. Joseph County District Court Friday. Bond was set at $500,000.

Mott, who authorities said has three felonies prior to the June incident, remains in the county jail. In light of her previous charges, she faces a potential sentence of life in prison if found guilty.
