Description
The water damage is bad, but a fire earlier this month at Brazilian Jiu Jitsu of Olympia could have been much worse.
“First and foremost, this gym exists to help people become better people. This individual we knew had some challenges and we felt a lot of compassion for them,” said Shane Heart of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.
Fire crews responded to a fire at the gym off Black Lake Boulevard Southwest on Feb. 18. Investigators suspected arson; gym management suspect a member of the gym and Olympia police confirmed their fears.
Court documents reveal 24-year-old Andrew Clark was arrested Monday, charged with arson and burglary. Documents state that Clark was vocal about his distrust of police and the military, and possibly aimed his anger at the police and veterans who trained at this gym.
