A second arrest has been made in the arson fire that killed a Hamilton firefighter.
William “Billy” Tucker, 46, was arrested Friday in Richmond, Ky., on an indictment from Butler County for aggravated arson and murder for allegedly starting the fire that killed firefighter Patrick Wolterman in December 2015.
Butler County Prosecutor Michael Gmoser said the grand jury heard evidence this week in the case against Tucker, who is the nephew of the owner of the Pater Avenue house, and returned the indictments. Tucker was taken into custody Friday by Hamilton police detectives.
