Divorce Arson: Man Used Divorce Papers to Set Fire To Estranged Wife's Salon

Man Used Divorce Papers To Set Fire To Estranged Wife's Salon

MISSOULA -- Bail has been set at $200,000 for a 33-year-old Lolo man accused of using divorce papers to start a fire that burned down his estranged wife's Frenchtown beauty salon.

Prosecutors say Shawn Gawronski was sitting in his truck, gun in hand, near the burning Gifted Hands salon when deputies arrived early Monday morning. He was arrested a short time later, and court records say he acknowledged spreading gasoline throughout the building and using his divorce papers to get the fire going.
