A 53-year-old man that was fired from the Lennox bondage parlor Passive Arts Studio has been accused of starting a fire. The Los Angeles Times reports that David Edward Albert was booked on suspicion of arson and murder on Tuesday in connection with a blaze that destroyed Passive Arts Studio, located near Los Angeles International Airport at 10914 S. La Cienega Blvd. The man's bail has been set to $1 million.

The bondage club was once advertised that they were the "largest, most elegant and best equipped play area in the nation." Sadly, they can no longer say that this is true. After David Albert, an employee of the bondage club, was terminated from his position last week, the man allegedly set flames to the 50-foot-by-100-foot building. It reportedly took 50 firefighters to extinguish the blaze within 20 minutes.

One man inside the building was killed in the fire, which means that the suspect can be charged with felony murder over the arson incident. Murder crimes are perhaps considered the most serious criminal offense in our criminal justice system, so it's especially important to get a Los Angeles criminal defense attorney for representation with such severe crimes. When it comes to murder crimes, a Los Angeles criminal defense lawyer can make sure that the defendant receives a fair trial and can often help a murder suspect avoid the death penalty.
