First-degree arson
Aggravated assault
County Road 20, Ludowici
A man woke up to the smell of smoke, looked outside and saw his mobile home on fire. He ran next door to his father’s house, and the pair doused the flames with a water hose and a fire extinguisher. No major damage was done. Two sets of prints — one with shoes and another barefoot — were seen coming from a dirt road and leading to the man’s house. There was also a strong odor of gasoline and a burn pattern leading up to the mobile home from about three feet away. The case was turned over to a detective.

A Walthourville city employee reported a woman, who was angry because he shut off her water, was walking by his house and shouted profanities at him in front of his child. The woman said the complainant had started yelling at her for no reason and she was basically returning the favor. She also said the man pointed a gun at her. A witness reported he did not see the complainant with a gun. Since the woman didn’t live in the area, she was advised to leave and refrain from contacting the complainant. She was also told to contact the city if she had a problem with the way the complainant handled his job.
