    Cole Bell, of Chandler is expected to face a jury today in connection to last November’s fire on Henderson Island. Bell was arrested days later in Warrick County on unrelated charges, but Henderson authorities were able to connect Bell to the case after a truck registered in his name was spotted at a boat ramp shortly before the fire broke out.

    Henderson authorities say that that same truck was used to steal a boat in early 2023. The trial is set to get underway at 9:00 a.m.
