A mosque in Perrysburg Township, OH went up in flames on Sunday and police arrested Randy Linn Tuesday at his job in Fort Wayne on two counts of arson, aggravated burglary and carrying a concealed weapon.

   

We stopped by Randy Linn's home to try and speak with his wife--but were greeted by this sign that read--"No comment, so Don't bother knocking or camping out on my property."

 

    Shortly after we met Carey Crago--Randy Linn's longtime neighbor and friend.

 

 

    I've been his neighbor for I won't say how many years and we visit back and forth and to me he's one of the nicest guys I ever met," said Crago.   

 

 

Crago says Linn is often outspoken--but in all the years he's known him--he's never seen him act violently.

 

 

    "That doesn't make him a bad guy I admire a person that speaks their thoughts as long as they aren't violent and he's never been violent," said Crago. 

   

 

As for Linn's religious views.

 

 

    "We've never discussed anything about religion--this is a religious thing he's accused of--I've never heard him comment about anything on religion," said Crago. 

 

 

    Crago says he plans on standing behind Linn because he knows that he would do the same for him.

 

 

"We've been friends for years and like I say if he gets convicted of this it would sure surprise me because I just can't see Randy as that kind of Felon," said Crago. 

 

Linn was taken to the Allen county jail after his arrest, but has since been taken back to Ohio to face charges.
