A Robinwood man is facing arson charges in connection with a house fire late last month, the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office said Friday.

Jessie Alexander Lessley, 35, posted $15,000 bond and was released Thursday. A warrant was issued for his arrest on Monday, and Lessley was apprehended Wednesday after a sheriff's deputy familiar with the case spotted him in Robinwood.

Lessley was allegedly seen running from a vacant home on the 400 block of 10th Street around 6 p.m. July 31, where a fire broke out. The sheriff's office said no one was in the home at the time, and that it appeared to be vacant "for some time." There was no natural gas or power service to the house.

Detectives with the sheriff's office called on the state fire marshall to investigate the blaze, which was later determined to be intentionally set, the office said.
