An arrest warrant for a felony charge of arson was obtained Friday for Tovoris Chester, the same day a blaze broke out at the Chroma Park Apartments, Cobb County Fire and Emergency Services said in a statement Monday.

The fire displaced several residents of one of the buildings at the complex, which houses multiple families. The apartments are located in the 2100 block of Mesa Valley Way near Austell.
