513.040 Arson in the third degree, KY statute states:
A person guilty of arson in the third degree if he wantonly causes destruction or damage to a building of his own or of another by intentionally starting a fire or causing an explosion.
In this definition, does a melted surface of a bathtub constitutes damage to a building? The damage was on a plastic tub (thought it was ceramic in the first place) and the total repair of resurfacing costed $304.00.
The person is charged with Arson in 3-rd degree for burning papers in the tub.
Thanks a lot,
