SEMINOLE COUNTY, Fla. – A Seminole County judge has ordered a Geneva man to be held in jail on no bond, a day after investigators said the man deliberately set his house on fire with more than a dozen dogs inside.
Terrance Banks, 40, made his first appearance before a judge Tuesday, while personnel with Seminole County Fire, Animal Services, and the Sheriff’s Office combed through the debris of the burnt house.
News 6 watched as crews pulled out what appeared to be bodies of dogs. A spokesperson with Seminole County later confirmed that crews recovered the bodies of seven more dogs, bringing the total to 15 dogs that have died in the fire.
