A 34-year-old homeless man suspected of setting multiple fires across Freeport — targeting everything from a bridal shop to utility poles — was charged with arson and related offences in Grand Bahama’s Magistrate’s Court on Friday.

Kevin Honore appeared before acting Deputy Chief Magistrate Charlton Smith facing one count of arson, two counts of endangering property by fire, and one count of causing damage by fire. He was not represented and appeared mentally ill.

Prosecutors allege Honore ignited a fire at Fritz’s Bridal in the International Bazaar on March 6. On the same day, he allegedly endangered property at the Princess Country Club. Weeks later, on March 28, he was linked to two more fires — one near the Bahamas Agriculture Industrial Corporation and another that damaged Freeport Power utility poles.

Honore was not required to enter a plea. He was remanded to Sandilands Rehabilitation Centre in New Providence until May 12.
