Grand Jury Indicts Woman For Fire At Reo’s Ribs

PORTLAND, Ore. – A grand jury has indicted the woman accused of starting a fire at Portland’s Reo’s Ribs.

The restaurant was badly damaged by the blaze early in the morning on November 23rd.

Police believe Jennifer Lynn Cole is responsible for using a lighter, vape pen, and papers to start the fire.

She was taken into custody after she was recognized by a citizen who saw her sleeping outside his work.

Reo’s was destroyed in another fire back in 2017 and reopened after rebuilding.

That fire was determined to be accidental.
