Two men, one of them a Perry selectman, were arrested in connection with the arson of a vacant house in Perry last year. Scott MacNichol, 35, who is a Perry selectman, was charged with two counts of arson and criminal conspiracy to commit arson. Jeffrey Morrison, 36, of Perry was arrested for perjury, two counts of arson, criminal conspiracy to commit arson and insurance deception. The State Fire Marshal’s office made the arrest following an investigation into the April 26, 2014 fire that destroyed a vacant single family home owned by Morrison. Fire Marshal Investigator Jeremy Damren said the house was burned to collect insurance money. The two men, who are good friends, are out on bail. The investigation was done by the Washington County Sheriff’s Office and Maine State Police.
