GREGG COUNTY, Texas (KLTV) - Authorities in Gregg County arrested a man who they believe intentionally set a house on fire.
Fire crews were dispatched to a home in the 1900 block of Warren Plant Rd. in June 2020. Officials said no one was home at the time of the fire, but two of the owner’s pet cats died as a result.
