Sarnia police have laid criminal charges in relation to a fire on Richard Street on Monday.
Police said a fence was set on fire and flames spread to the adjacent residence, damaging the home.
A 48-year-old man was initially arrested on outstanding warrants and a subsequent investigation led to additional charges.
Police said the man has since been charged with arson, mischief over $5,000, and failing to comply with a probation order.
The man was held in custody overnight and was scheduled for a bail hearing Tuesday.
