\nChristopher Jackson is a 24-year-old, single African American male who was arrested on December 20 for First Degree Arson. Allegedly, he set fire to a homeless shelter
\naffiliated with his Baptist Church. According to the police report, Christopher was staying at the shelter and lit a fire next to his cot in order to stay warm. The
\nbedding quickly ignited and the fire spread throughout the shelter. No one was seriously injured. Christopher stated that he didn\u2019t know he shouldn\u2019t light a fire
\nindoors and didn\u2019t think anything bad would happen. Upon review of records, Mr. Jackson completed the 11th grade, but had to repeat grades 1 and 3. He was enrolled in
\nSpecial Education classes throughout junior high and high school, but didn\u2019t complete school due to poor performance. At the age of 10, he was tested by the school
\ndistrict, and was found to have a full-scale IQ of 77. Since high school, he has worked a variety of odd jobs, but has been unable to maintain longterm employment. He
\nhas difficulty maintaining social relationships, and is impaired in social interaction. Christopher\u2019s unusual behaviors (washing his hands frequently, making sure
\nitems are put in a certain order, etc.) also negatively affect his interactions and his ability to hold down a job. During high school, a school psychologist diagnosed
\nChristopher with Borderline Intellectual Functioning and Asperger\u2019s Disorder.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
