Man questioned in fire at Lorain County Community College
In the month before the fire, Drew Manns aided police in a child abuse investigation. The 24 year old GED student is also a key witness in that case. Elyria police discussed his cooperation with prosecutors when considering bond terms after a new arrest. Manns pleaded guilty in December to an unrelated charge and was released on a 5000 dollar bond.
