Teen arsonist thought truck belonged to a transvestite
In Brattleboro, Vermont, Gregory A. Smith, 19, who is already facing multiple charges, pleaded not guilty to setting fire to a truck. Smith was arraigned in Windham District Court on a charge of hate-motivated third-degree arson. The state alleges he committed the crime because he thought the truck belonged to a transvestite. If convicted, Smith could face five years in prison and a fine of $10,000. The resulting fire consumed the vehicle and ignited a nearby box trailer.
