This is the best summary I could come up with:
Two men have been arrested on suspicion of arson over a fire that tore through the Crooked House pub.
Once known as “Britain’s wonkiest” inn, it was set alight on 5 August, leaving it gutted.
Despite being derelict, it was a popular landmark in the Dudley area and its swift demolition prompted criticism from the local community.
The suspects were arrested on suspicion of arson with intent to endanger life and remain in custody, Staffordshire Police said.
A group of more than 21,000 people has formed on Facebook, with campaigners rallying to preserve the site and calling for it to be rebuilt.
Protesters angry at the demolition were also involved in a stand-off with contractors on Wednesday, frustrated at what they described as a lack of communication over work at the site.

Intent to endanger life? And here I was assuming it was for insurance purposes only
