Police have charged a man in connection with a fire set inside a Winchester apartment Monday night.
Officials say an ambulance picked up a man at Winchester College Park around 11:30 p.m. On the way to the hospital, the man reportedly told EMTs “I torched it.” The medics pressed the man for more information and called firefighters to his apartment on Westwood Drive.

Firefighters say they arrived to find smoke rolling out of the door and a small fire smoldering on the bed. Firefighters quickly put out the blaze before it spread. But smoke damaged the apartment and the unit below sustained some water damage.
Police arrested Glenn D. Johnston, 50, and charged him with arson and wanton endangerment.
