CHRISTIANSBURG MAN CHARGED WITH ARSON

Police have charged a Christiansburg man who was being held in the Radford City Jail with the March 29 burning of a building in Blacksburg.

Edward H. DeHart Jr., 27, who has been held in Radford since November on numerous breaking and entering and larceny charges, was charged last week with arson in connection with a fire that destroyed New River Realty on Landsdowne Street in March 1989.

An arraignment hearing has been scheduled for Wednesday in Montgomery County General District Court in Blacksburg.
