According to an affidavit filed in Montgomery County Municipal Court Eastern Division, Anderson was accused of intentionally setting fire to the Barrett Drive house on Nov. 28.

The affidavit said investigators found a firearm belonging to Anderson inside the home after the fire was put out. He is forbidden from owning a firearm due to a previous conviction for aggravated possession of drugs in 2021, court documents said.

Anderson was arrested the same day and booked in Montgomery County Jail, and was still in the jail at the time of writing.

He is scheduled to be arraigned Dec. 11.
