Man Charged in Greene County Arson Appears in Court

Posted: Updated:
GREENE COUNTY, Va (WVIR) -

The man charged in an alleged arson made his first appearance in Greene County General District Court Wednesday morning.

Investigators are still piecing together clues about the house fire on Celt Road that three children narrowly escaped. 

Wednesday's hearing lasted less than a minute, just long enough for the judge to appoint 60-year-old Gerald Baugher an attorney. 

Baugher is facing five felony charges, including arson and attempted second-degree murder. The sheriff's office believes he intentionally set fire to the home on Monday, August 1. 

A family of five lived there, but everyone was safe and accounted for. The house is a total loss, and the sheriff's office is collecting donations for the family.You can find a list of some specific things they need by clicking here

Baugher is being held at Central Virginia Regional Jail. His court date is set for September 28.
