Suspect Arrested in Arson Attack on Wyoming Abortion Clinic
A 22-year-old woman has been arrested for allegedly setting fire to a building that was slated to house an abortion clinic in Casper, Wyoming, causing devastating damage that prevented the facility from opening.
Lorna Roxanne Green was arrested in Casper on Wednesday by the local police and agents from the FBI and ATF, and charged with arson. The arrest came after an anonymous donor offered a $10,000 reward for information about the unsolved crime. Four tipsters from the local community named Green as the arsonist, according to documents filed in federal court.
The attack on the Wellspring Health Access clinic took place in the early hours of May 25, 2022, just weeks before the abortion services provider planned to open its doors to patients. The clinic’s security cameras caught a person breaking windows, entering the building, pouring gasoline on the floor and setting fire to the building, according to court filings. The inside of the clinic was gutted, and the attack caused around $250,000 worth of damage, the clinic’s president, Julie Burkhart, told The Daily Beast last year.
