Marcus Wayne Light, 27, was in District Court on Monday before Judge James Wheelis. Light said his attorney was in Missoula and unable to make the hearing, which Wheelis rescheduled for Oct. 31.

Light was convicted of arson on Oct. 31, 2012. The fire caused $73,558 in damage to the old McGrade School building, according to court documents. A report by Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office Detective Boyd White stated that Light slit a screen and used a funnel to pour gasoline into the building. White also wrote that Christina McDonald said that Light told her that he had set a fire at the CPS office and had said something about a Molotov cocktail.
