RAPID CITY, S.D. – A man facing felony arson and reckless burning charges pleaded not guilty during his initial court appearance Monday.

Prosecutors asked Judge Scott Bogue for Stange to be held with no bond due to him being a significant threat to the safety of himself and the public.

Stange’s next court appearance has been set for October 24^th.
