CHAMBERSBURG, Pa.–A man was arrested early Saturday after police say he tried to set fire to a Chambersburg bar after being kicked out by security.

Nicholas D. Parker-Wright, 29, of Chambersburg, is charged with arson, risking a catastrophe, recklessly endangering another person and criminal mischief. He was arraigned and taken to Franklin County Prison in lieu of $250,000 bail.

It happened at Dilly’s Bar and Restaurant located along the 600 block of Lincoln Way West.

Police say Parker-Wright had been thrown out of the bar right before he poured gasoline around the the exterior of the building and then set fire to it.

No one was hurt. Investigators say the building sustained minor damage.

A preliminary hearing for Parker-Wright is scheduled for Sept. 20.
