A Cobb Superior Court grand jury has indicted an an East Cobb man for arson at his own home last fall.
According to an indictment issued March 28, Nader Nahid was indicted on one count of first-degree arson for a fire that took place on Oct. 10, 2024 at his residence on Taliwa Trail.
That’s located off Roswell Road near Old Canton Road.
An arrest warrant included in the court filings alleges that at around 3:10 that afternoon, Nahid set on fire a stack of luxury vinyl planks outside the front door of the home.
The fire spread to the attic and caused “substantial damage” to the residence, according to the warrant, and officers noted that “the odor of gasoline was present.”
The warrant further states that Nahid was the only person at the home at the time, and also was the only person there when a fire was reported on July 31, 2024.
Court filings indicate that Nahid was found to be indigent and is being represented by a public defender. He was released on a $15,000 bond in February and ordered not to return to the home, according to court filings.
