Man accused of setting fire to house he used to live in

SIOUX CITY — A 32-year-old man has been accused of setting fire to a house he used to occupy.

Court records say Jesse Bigeagle is charged with arson and criminal mischief in connection with the fire last month. A public phone listing for Bigeagle couldn’t be found Monday.

Bigeagle’s next court appearance is scheduled for Oct. 9.

The records say Bigeagle entered the home early on Sept. 19, went to the basement and started a fire there before leaving.

No injuries have been reported. The house is considered a total loss.
