Four Slater residents facing felony charges for allegedly setting a fire that destroyed a home in the 300 block of Miami Street in Miami on October 16 are due in court this week. Total damage to the home was estimated at $40,000.
A news release says a joint investigation by the Saline County Sheriff’s Department, the Missouri State Highway Patrol’s Division of Drug and Crime Control and the Missouri State Fire Marshal’s Office alleges that 28-year-old Joshua Reeves; 20-year-old Sabrina Reeves; 41-year-old Lillian McDaniel; and 18-year-old Jordan McDaniel were the perpetrators.
Each has been charged with a Class D Felony for Second-Degree Arson. Cash-only bond for Joshua Reeves has been set at $125,000 and $50,000 for each of the other suspects.
Each suspect has appeared and been arraigned, and each is scheduled to appear for another hearing at 9 a.m. on Wednesday, December 19, at Saline County Circuit Court.
