On the evening of 12-7-2021, a deputy from

 the Cape Girardeau County Sheriff's Office was

 dispatched to the 24000 block of State Hwy 25

 in Cape Girardeau County Missouri for a report

 of a structure fire.

 

 While traveling to the location of the call dispatch

 advised our deputy that there was potentially

 an adult female and small child still inside the

 residence. Upon arrival to the call, our deputy

 could see no evidence of an active fire.

 

 However, through an investigation, it was

 determined a male individual had attempted to

 burn down the residence by starting a fire inside

 the residence while others were asleep inside.

 An arrest was made, and the case was sent up

 to be reviewed by the Prosecutor's Office.

 

 Subsequently, a warrant was issued for 38yr

 old Male, Nicholas T. Lambrou from

 Cape Girardeau County Mo, who is charged

 with the following.

 

 Count:1 - Class B felony of arson in the first degree.

 

 Lambrou is currently housed at the Cape Girardeau

 County Justice Facility with a 25,000 cash-only bond.

 

 The Charge of an offense is merely an

 accusation, and the defendant is presumed

 innocent until and unless proven guilty.
