Hotel Talisi arsonist escapes

Staff Report

Dylan Carroll, 24, was being held at Frank Lee Youth Center in Deatsville. He escaped on Thursday, Sept. 22 at approximately 7:30 p.m.

Last August, Carroll was sentenced to 13 years for arson. He was just 17-years-old when he committed the offense that closed the landmark hotel and consignment shop. The building that housed the consignment business has since been torn down with the property turned into a park. Renovations have taken place at the hotel but it has not reopened.
