Eric L. Ramos is scheduled to appear in court June 21 on a charge of 1st-degree arson. He’s accused of starting a fire at Tecumseh State Correctional Institution, intentionally damaging the building or property in it and knowing there were people inside.
Johnson County Attorney Rick Smith says Ramos is already serving eight to 10 years for criminal mischief, domestic assault and gun charges for convictions dating back to 2012 in Gage County, Nebraska.
No other charges have been filed yet, but Smith said the incident remains under investigation.
