COLUMBUS, Ohio — A 54-year-old man has been charged with setting fire to a homeless camp near the Greater Columbus Convention Center.

Karl Mahone is charged with aggravated arson, according to Franklin County District Court records.

The Columbus Fire Department responded to the fire near 288 Convention Center Drive at 1:18 pm Tuesday.
