Normand is charged with defiant trespass, obstruction and giving false identification to law enforcement. They are now under investigation in connection with the fire itself. According to the police report, Normand has a "history of violent tendencies." Police in Boise have an outstanding warrant for Normand for assault and battery and resisting arrest in connection with an incident in January. Normand has been missing ever since. A nationwide online advocacy organization seeking to locate and assist missing persons describes Normand as an endangered autistic adult. In a post in early February, the organization, True Crime Sisters, advises Normand "may be especially vulnerable" and "may not recognize danger or be able to advocate" for themself. According to the police report, Normand had a calm demeanor in the police car but "was intensely watching the fire progression. And fire operations while the building was burning." Normand is in the Allegheny County Jail. Authorities are investigating the cause of the blaze.
