{Charleston, West Virginia}...A Kanawha County grand jury returned an indictment Friday charging 37 year old Charles Darren Roberts of Alum Creek with first-degree murder and 3rd and 4th degree arson after a December 3rd fire near Alum Creek resulted in the death of Davis Creek Volunteer Fire Dept. firefighter 61 year old Joey King. Roberts was originally charged with third-degree arson. He allegedly used cardboard and a tire to set some railroad ties on fire underneath the Steven Wayne Smith Bridge on U.S. 119, and King fell from the bridge and died while looking for the blaze. Roberts is scheduled to be arraigned April 11th before Kanawha County Circuit Judge Tod Kaufman.
