ACCUSED ARSONIST PLEADS “NOT GUILTY.”

Remember that warehouse fire we reported on last week? After Mark Anderson allegedly set fire to his wine storage unit in 2005 that contained 6 million bottles of wine and incurred a whopping $250 million in losses, he plead not guilty to charges on Monday.

Here’s a quick refresher. Authorities say Mark set the fire to cover up the fact that he had been selling the wine behind his customers’ backs and making a nice little profit. He currently faces 19 felonies, including arson, interstate transportation of fraudulently obtained property, fraud and tax evasion.

Mark posted a $500,000 bond to sit this one out at home.
