In March of 2025 a well-known dentist’s office exploded in the town of Evergreen, Alabama, near the Florida line. Today, the owner of that office, a dentist described as “very successful” and a “very nice guy,” is in jail, charged with arson and insurance fraud in connection with the explosion and fire. O’Connor, who is listed with a home address in Troy, Alabama, about 75 miles away, was apparently near his office when the explosion occurred. “Something like that usually involves money.”The dental office was situated next to an Alabama State Troopers office on one side and a liquor store on the other, not far from Interstate 65. A worker at the liquor store said Tuesday that the fire happened about 9:30 p.m. and did not damage the liquor store.
