Authorities say the fire last October that destroyed Pavona's Pizza and Mickey's Pub on Sand Run Road was the result of arson.
The restaurant, which recently relocated to Cuyahoga Falls, is co-owned by Mark Mickey who authorities say torched his own establishment
Akron Beacon Journal reports that police filed an affidavit filed by Akron Police, Mickey “did knowingly with intention create an incendiary fire, directly causing the complete and total loss of Pavona's Pizza and Mickey's Pub."
Mickey is charged with one count of fourth-degree felony arson, and has been ordered to appear tomorrow on the charges in Akron Municipal Court.
