HUTCHINSON, Kan. — A man suspected of setting a pair of fires on May 28, 2014, was before a judge Wednesday morning for the reading of two charges against him.
Dustin Gordon is charged with two counts of arson for setting fire to a two-story home and also a trailer that was used for storage.
He was transferred to the Reno County jail from Saline County this week after he was convicted and sentenced in October in three cases of arson in that county.
The fires occurred on East Blanchard south of the intersection of K-61 and U.S. 50, on the southeast side of Hutchinson.
When units arrived, they found a fully-involved two-story house and also a second fire in a mobile home one-eighth mile east of the house that was fully involved as well. Both houses were vacant and had been for some time.
In Saline County, Gordon was convicted for two counts of aggravated arson and one count of arson and is currently serving time on those three charges.
