Fox is also charged with carrying and using a firearm during the arson of the Crievewood Baptist Church.

The Information alleges that Fox intentionally set the fires because of the religious character of the churches.

The charges are merely accusations and the defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
