OSHKOSH, WI (WTAQ) – A man accused of setting fire to an Oshkosh warehouse and then trying to collect insurance money has pled not guilty.
A trial date for Jeremy Neumann, 42, was not set in court Tuesday. Online court records show Neumann entered his plea to one count of arson and he returns to court February 25.
Neumann operated a business in the facility on Bowen Street called Gambit McDermott LLC, according to the criminal complaint.
Authorities used data from his GPS to tie Neumann to the scene of the fire back on November 6. Police say his clothing was also consistent with images captured on security cameras.
Neumann initially denied going to the scene of the fire that night. He also filed an insurance claim the day after the fire.
The complaint shows that on October 28, Neumann contacted his insurance agency to increase his business liability coverage from $100,000 to $130,000.
