A San Bernardino County man has been federally charged with deliberately setting a fire that destroyed a massive warehouse in Ontario, California, causing an estimated $500 million in damage, federal prosecutors said Friday.
Chamel Abdulkarim, 29, of Highland, is charged in a federal criminal complaint with arson of a building used in interstate and foreign commerce, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Central District of California. The complaint was filed late Thursday.
The early‑morning April 7 fire destroyed a 1.2 million‑square‑foot warehouse leased by Kimberly‑Clark, a major producer of toilet paper, paper towels and baby products. No injuries were reported.
Who was afraid of toilet paper, though? Or do you mean “fires”?
This guy was never anonymous, but we’re all calling him Waluigi (Warehouse Luigi). It would have cost Kimberly-Clark less to pay their people a livable wage than they lost in the fire, which they will almost certainly write off.
