The co-owner of Pavona's Pizza Joint, which was destroyed in a fire, pleaded guilty to arson on Tuesday, according to the Summit County Prosecutor's Office.He originally pleaded not guilty in February of 2023.
The fire broke out in the morning and not only destroyed the pizza shop, but also Mickey's Irish Pub, which was located next door and was also owned by his wife, Courtney Pavona.Akron officials said over 2.5 million gallons of water were used to put the fire out, and it took more than five hours to control.
“The panels have been inspected and have been determined to not be the cause of the fire,” the police report stated. “There is no other competent ignition source, and no explainable plausible way for the fire to have occurred in that location under the stairs other than by human hand.” Additionally, it was revealed that Mickey had sent a text to his friend that morning asking about rental prices for a bedroom, and after police spoke with the friend, they discovered that Mickey and Pavona were getting a divorce and he needed a place to stay.
