A man considered armed and dangerous by the Graves County Sheriff's Office was arrested in Tennessee after a fire near Dukedom Friday morning.

Sheriff Jon Hayden said deputies arrived to find a mobile home engulfed in flames off Highway 129. A 911 caller reported that someone set the home on fire. Firefighters from both the Cuba and Sedalia fire departments dealt with the fire.

Deputies obtained arrest warrants for the suspect, 43-year-old John Michael Giles, on charges of 2nd degree arson and possession of a handgun by a convicted felon. Hayden said Giles was out of jail on bond on an attempted murder charge from an incident that happened last August in Graves County.

Giles reportedly fled the scene, but he was arrested around 11:30 am by the Union City, TN Police Department.
