Man accused of setting mobile home fire, attempting second blaze in woods
A Gurdon man is facing felony charges after authorities say he set fire to a residence and then attempted to ignite another fire while fleeing the scene.
Jeffery L. Brown, 36, is charged with Arson and Reckless Burning in connection with an April 2, 2026 incident.
According to a probable cause affidavit, deputies responded to a residential fire at 91 Greenville Road, identified as Brown’s address. Investigators allege Brown fled from the burning mobile home into a wooded area behind a neighboring residence.
While firefighters were working to extinguish the structure fire, deputies reported spotting a second fire in the wooded area where Brown had fled. Authorities entered the woods and located Brown, who was allegedly attempting to start another fire at the time. He was taken into custody without incident.
Court records state Brown was found in possession of a propane torch and a lighter, which were taken as evidence. An initial investigation by an Arkadelphia Fire Department arson investigator determined the structure fire was incendiary in nature.
Court filings further allege Brown started a fire or caused an explosion with the purpose of damaging an occupiable structure or vehicle belonging to another person. The arson charge involves property valued between $15,000 and $100,000 and is classified as a Class A felony.

An Arkadelphia man is facing a felony charge after a traffic stop on Interstate 30 led to the discovery of suspected cocaine.
