A 52-year-old man is in jail on multiple felony charges in connection with a fire that caused Suffolk Towers Apartments to be evacuated early on New Year’s Day.

Bryan Alan Cadwell, a resident of the apartment building, is being held without bond at the Western Tidewater Regional Jail following his arrest stemming from an investigation by the Suffolk Fire Marshal’s office, according to Suffolk spokeswoman Diana Klink.

Cadwell has been charged with attempted arson of an occupied dwelling and arson of an occupied dwelling.

Firefighters were called to the scene at 4 a.m. on Jan. 1 and arrived to find the fire alarms activated and the smell of smoke and burning wood in the lobby, according to a press release from city officials.

The fire was contained to the storage area, and it was marked under control at 4:30 a.m., but smoke had spread throughout the building, and residents were evacuated until the structure had been ventilated.

There were no injuries reported, and no residents were displaced as a result of the incident.

Klink stated in the press release that the investigation continues.
