Casper Abortion Clinic Arsonist Sentenced To Prison

A woman who admitted to setting fire to an abortion clinic in Casper, will be spending time behind bars for her actions.

Twenty-two year old Lorna Green was sentenced in federal court to five years in prison, followed by three years of supervised probation, after she pleaded guilty to one charge of arson. 

According to court documents, in late May 2022, Casper Police Department officers responded to the Wellspring Health Access Clinic based on a report of suspicious activity. 

Officers observed smoke coming from the east side of the building and dispatched the Casper Fire Department who responded and extinguished the fire. 

Through witness accounts and video surveillance, investigators identified a suspect who had gained entry by breaking a window, pouring gas in the facility, then leaving just prior to the report of suspicious activity.

Green was arrested this past March.

The fire caused an estimated $300,000 in damages, of which Green will have to pay in restitution and it delayed the opening of the clinic by about 1 year.
