JASPER, Texas (KTRE) - An 18-year-old Jasper High School student is behind bars after the Jasper ISD police said the student started a fire in the school's woodshop in September.

An investigation determined that the student's actions potentially placed hundreds of students and staff members in danger within the district's Career and Technology Building, located at 400 Bulldog Ave. in Jasper, according to district police.

The district's police department notified Jasper Municipal Court Judge Robert Jackson, who determined there was probable cause sufficient for the student's arrest for arson, according to district police.
