Kentucky State Police say two people have been charged in connection to a home burglary and arson that occurred in Madison County.
Police say 38-year-old John C. Roth of Nicholasville was arrested Tuesday and charged with receiving stolen property under $10,000 after allegedly trying to pawn items that were stolen from the home, which was burglarized and set ablaze on Monday. Media reported he pleaded not guilty on Wednesday in Jessamine District Court.
A 17-year-old juvenile also was taken into custody and charged with arson and burglary.
The house was the sixth home in central Kentucky that police say was burglarized and then set on fire. Police have said the string of rural house fires appear connected but have not charged Roth and the juvenile in the other cases.
