Horton Arson Spree Suspect to Stand Trial

(KNZA)--A Hiawatha man accused of setting homes and vehicles ablaze during a crime spree early May 9th in Horton will stand trial on charges.

Following a preliminary hearing Wednesday, which included testimony from six witnesses, Brown County Attorney Kevin Hill says the court found probable cause for 27-year-old Dustin McCulley to be bound over to Brown County District Court on nine counts.

Arraignment was scheduled for August 28th before District Judge Jim Patton.

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

He 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.
