Ede Warner Jr., Associate Professor and Director of Debate Society at the University of Louisville, has been charged with arson, wanton endangerment, and assault after a domestic disturbance. He withdrew today from two summer courses that he was scheduled to teach.
Police say Warner got into a fight with his wife, saying, “it was on.” He then allegedly threw her onto a couch.
While she was in a locked bedroom, she told police Ede Warner tossed her coat onto the stove and turned it on.
The victim was able to escape with a 12-year-old child and throw the burning coat out into the yard before the entire house caught fire.
