Police have arrested James Cothran, 66, for a Thursday morning fire in Lincoln and they believe he's responsible for another incident as well.

The Thursday fire quickly turned into a major incident at 47th and Prescott. Damage to the Locker Room and nearby businesses is estimated between $100,000 and $150,000.

Police say Cothran lives at Prescott Place, an assisted living facility at 46 and Prescott. He was seen in the area of the Locker Room between midnight and 1:00 a.m. Thursday.

Investigators say Cothran has a fear of spiders and used a lighter to set a spider web on fire at the Locker Room. Police say he left a smoldering fire.

Cothran is also facing a charge of attempted First Degree Arson for attempting to set a fire to the column of a front porch at Prescott Place.
