Arraignment is scheduled today for the man accused of starting a fatal house fire in Akron last week that killed seven of his neighbors. 58-year-old Stanley Ford faces aggravated murder and arson charges for the May 15 fire that killed two adults and five children. Investigators aren't discussing a possible motive or what led them to Ford. The estranged husband of one of the victims was arrested shortly after the fire on a parole violation. Patrick Boggs was described by authorities as a person of interest in the case.
