Trial starting for two men charged in 2010 arson case

GREENVILLE — A trial is scheduled this week for two men, indicted on arson charges in connection with an allegedly set fire in Greenville during the summer of 2010.

Anthony Lawone Lewis of Greenville and Ronnie Darryle Lewis, who has listed addressed in both Greenville and Fort Worth in court records, have pleaded not guilty to the charge.

Jury selection is scheduled Monday in the 196th District Court. The Hunt County District Attorney’s Office has subpoenaed more than 40 witnesses to testify during the trial.

The Lewises each received one indictment for arson from the Hunt County grand jury in January 2011.

The indictments allege they were two of three people who set a fire or caused an explosion which damaged a residence in the 1400 block of Jackson’s Run in Greenville on July 20, 2010.

Arson is a second-degree felony, punishable upon conviction by a maximum sentence of from two to 20 years in prison and an optional fine of up to $10,000.
