Riley County police director Brian Peete on Thursday said the multi-agency effort to investigate the June 13 arson at Manhattan’s Walmart may soon lead to an arrest.

“I think that where we’re at now, the information that we have and that we’ve gathered throughout the investigation, has given us a good, high level of confidence,” Peete said.

The investigation into a fire that closed Walmart for the whole of Father’s Day weekend is a cooperative effort between RCPD and Pottawatomie County attorney John Paul Washburn, with assistance as needed from the Pottawatomie County sheriff’s office. The fire caused an estimated total loss of over $2 million, not including lost wages. No injuries were reported.

The jury in the trial of former Manhattan chiropractor Clark Petersen was not excused Friday morning, despite having reached a verdict in the case the night before. They had the additional task of ruling whether or not a judge could have the possibility of inflicting a more severe punishment than usual.

After about 45 minutes of deliberation, the jury ruled there was evidence of an aggravated factor, meaning Petersen could be sentenced more severely than typical for his crimes.

Upon the finding from the jury, Riley County District Court Judge Grant Bannister revoked Petersen’s bond. Petersen was taken into custody by officers in the courtroom.
