The victim and Travis had a disagreement at the victim’s home shortly before the first fire erupted, court records show.

The victim’s daughter told investigators she said saw Travis coming from the area where the first fire was set about 10 minutes before it was discovered, according to court records.

Investigators said the second fire ignited six hours later in the same location, according to court records.

Authorities said a neighbor smelled smoke, went outside and discovered the second fire, court records show.

Authorities said the same neighbor saw Travis’ vehicle leave the scene, and the neighbor tried to extinguish the second fire with his garden hose, according to court records.

Prosecutors recommended Travis’ bond be set at $10,000, court records show.

He was not listed in Potter County jail records on Friday.
