flag Michael Vandenbergh, 30, of La Farge, WI, will stand trial for allegedly attempting to murder a woman and her two children in a September 12 arson attack in Wisconsin Rapids.

flag Michael J. Vandenbergh, 30, of La Farge, Wisconsin, will stand trial on three counts of attempted first-degree intentional homicide and arson after a judge ruled there was enough evidence to proceed. flag The charges stem from a September 12 fire at a Wisconsin Rapids home where a woman and her two children escaped unharmed after waking to a loud pop and seeing flames on the porch. flag Surveillance footage, cell tower data, and a vehicle match linked Vandenbergh to the scene, and investigators found signs of an accelerant, though lab tests were inconclusive. flag He denies involvement, claiming he was fishing, but detectives noted he was wearing pants seen in the footage. flag The case is set for a plea hearing on February 9.
