ALBUQUREQUE (KRQE) - A New Mexico man has pleaded not guilty to felony charges including arson in connection with a fire at a landmark hotel.
On Friday, a judge set bond at $1 million cash for 51-year-old Ajay Jariwala.
The suspect, who is from Albuquerque, is accused of setting fire to the historic Hitching Post Inn in Cheyenne, Wyoming.
A federal indictment says he was an officer in the company that bought the Hitching Post Inn back in 2010.
The indictment then says he took out a nearly $14 million insurance policy on the hotel before the fire and then hired another New Mexico man to torch the building for the insurance money.
