(KNZA)--A jury trial has been set for a Hiawatha man accused of setting homes and vehicles ablaze during a crime spree early May 9th in Horton.

Brown County Attorney Kevin Hill says 27-year-old Dustin McCulley pleaded not guilty Monday in Brown County District Court to nine counts.

Hill says a jury trial was set for October 17th-20th.

McCulley faces one count of aggravated arson, five counts of arson, one count of felony theft and two counts of burglary.

He is accused of setting two residences on fire—including one which was occupied at the time it was set ablaze.  No injuries were reported.

McCulley is also accused of setting four vehicles on fire, along with the theft of a pickup truck and the break-in of two other vehicles.

He remains in the Brown County Jail on a $250,000 bond.
