A Craigsville man has been charged in an early-Friday fire that destroyed his 62 N. Hancock St. home.
Michael Christopher Troxell, 54, has been ordered held without bond in connection with the fire, which was reported at 6:10 a.m.
Responding firefighters quickly extinguished the blaze, and a male and a female victim who were in the home were transported to Augusta Health for the treatment of minor injuries sustained as a result of the fire.
The Augusta County Sheriff’s Office responded to the scene, and a Virginia State Police arson investigator from the Appomattox field office responded to assist and investigate the origin and nature of the blaze.
As a result of the preliminary investigation, Troxell was subsequently charged with violation burning or destroying a dwelling house.
Troxell was taken into custody and after an appearance before the magistrate, and ordered held without bond.
The investigation into this incident is continuing.
