The Toledo apartment complex owner charged with setting the facility on fire has been indicted on unrelated charges of selling synthetic drugs. 61-year-old Ray Abou-Arab and his son, 34-year-old Omar Abou-Arab, face multiple drug charges for allegedly selling synthetic marijuana at a store they operated. The father has pleaded not guilty to arson charges for the late January blaze that killed two Toledo firefighters. A judge has placed a gag order on the attorneys in that case.
