Man tourches porn store dressed as ninja

Fire investigators say a Powell man admitted dressing up like a ninja to burn down an adult business, all in the name of God.

Benjamin Daniel Warren, age 20, admitted using a fake gun to get the clerk out of the Town and Country bookstore. After ordering the employee to leave the store, Warren then pored six gallons of a flammable liquid inside the store and set it ablaze. The fire did $900,000 worth of damage to the building, which remains closed.
At the time of the arson, Warren was enrolled as a student at Crown College, a Baptist institution in Powell. Crown President Dr. Clarence Sexton says Warren dropped out of the school a few weeks after the arson. A few months later, someone came to Sexton with information that Warren might have confessed to the crime.

Dr. Sexton says he himeslf has serious problems with adult businesses, but that Town and Country Boostore was operating within the law. Dr. Sexton says Warren realizes what he did was wrong and regrets what happened.

He faces an arson charge that could send him to prison for six years. Warren is out on $5,000 bond while his case goes before a grand jury. Arson investigators had no clue Warren was a suspect until he came in to confess. Article here.
