PEABODY â A Peabody man who was $9,000 behind on his rent and facing eviction, allegedly admitted to police that he set a fire in his Main Street apartment to collect on a recently-acquired renterâs insurance policy, a prosecutor said Wednesday.
Teandre Moore, 33, of 1 Main St., was âseverely in debt,â prosecutor Gabrielle Foote Clark told a Peabody District Court judge during Mooreâs arraignment on arson charges. She asked that Mooreâs release in a three-week-old Salem case be revoked and that the judge set $50,000 bail on the new charges.
âHeâs starting a fire in an occupied building,â Clark told Judge Michael Patten, when Moore interrupted. âThat I live in,â Moore told the judge, before his attorney shushed him. Clark said Moore poses a risk to public safety.
