Lyndell Price pleaded not guilty to charges tied to the explosive 2020 fire at Bar 5015 in Houston's Third Ward. FOX 26's Leslie DelasBour reports the new claims made against Price.
The backstory:
Lyndell Price was one of three people who were recently arrested in connection to the 2020 fire at Bar 5015. Each person has also been charged with conspiracy to commit arson.
Price is accused of hiring the two other suspects, among others, to set fire to the bar, which was owned by another former Turkey Leg Hut co-owner.
The group then allegedly poured gasoline onto the bar's entrance ramp before setting it on fire.
Price pleaded not guilty in federal court last Thursday.
