(KAIR)--A small, Atchison residential fire was deemed to be intentional, and an Atchison man is facing charges for the crime.

According to a report from Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson, 45-year-old Marvin Reese was arrested Tuesday on an Atchison County District Court warrant charging him with arson and interference with law enforcement.

The warrant stems from a January 21 fire around the window of a residence located at 610 V Street.

The fire was extinguished shortly after the Atchison Fire and Police Departments arrived on the scene.

The investigation that followed determined that the fire had been intentionally set, and that led authorities to Reese, identified as the owner, and resident, of the home.

Following his arrest, Reese was booked into the Atchison County Jail.

His bond is set at $30,000.
