Charged With A Crime? It Doesn’t Mean You’re Guilty.

Third-Degree Arson

Denver Area Criminal Arson Lawyer

If you are being investigated for arson in Colorado, then you know that police and fire investigators don’t take this crime lightly. Because of the personal and financial impact of fires in Colorado, the Denver police and Colorado fire investigators can be overbearing and accusatory in the way they speak to you. Most of the time, fires are caused by an accident. Don’t let the Parker police or Douglas sheriff accuse you of a crime that you didn’t commit. Contact us to get an experienced arson attorney fighting for your rights.

Third-Degree Arson — Definition

Third-degree arson is one of the Colorado arson crimes and is defined as a crime under C.R.S. 18-4-104. Under Colorado law, third-degree arson takes place when a person, by means of fire, or explosives intentionally damages any property with intent to defraud. Third-degree arson is a Class 4 felony.

A Class 4 felony carries with it a sentence of two to six years’ imprisonment with a three-year parole period after you are released from prison. A conviction will also result in fines anywhere from $2,000 to $500,000.

Examples of this crime might include setting a house or car on fire in order to make an insurance claim. The element “with intent to defraud” is what sets this arson charge apart from the others.
