Brown County prosecutors have dismissed a dozen charges against a Hobart man who had been accused of starting multiple fires.
Eight of the counts against James Ambrosius were for arson.
During one of the fires at a property owned by his uncle and aunt, the uncle suffered a heart attack and died a few days later.
Investigators say Ambrosius admitted he had started several fires in Brown County.
No reason was given for the decision to dismiss the charges.
The prosecutor submitted that motion in March.
