A homeless man will be standing trial for trying to hurt a woman with fire. After two competency evaluations the Allen County Common Pleas Judge Jeffrey Reed says that 20-year-old Jonathan Brown will be standing trial for aggravated arson. In July 2021, Brown allegedly tried to hurt a woman by setting the bed she was in on fire. He underwent two separate competency evaluations, and both doctors say that he can stand trial for the crime. A trial date has been set for April. Since the charge is a Felony 1, if found guilty he could be sentenced anywhere between three and eleven years in prison.
