Jeffrey Nolan
Jeffrey M. Nolan last week pleaded not guilty to a series of state arson charges and was released.
On Monday, he appeared in federal court because one of the fires he allegedly set involved interstate and foreign commerce.
After being arrested last weekend, Nolan, wearing a prison uniform and face mask, answered to one federal offense â malicious damage and destruction, or attempted damage and destruction, by means of fire, at 172 Thomas Lane in Stowe.
172 Thomas Lane is home to Stowe Cable Systems.
Because of the violent nature of the allegation against him, judge John Conroy said Nolan was eligible for detention. His appointed defense attorney, David McColgin, had no objection.
