Man Indicted on Murder Charge

A grand jury has indicted a man on murder charges nearly a year after a Jamestown man was found dead in his home during a fire.

48-year-old David Scarpino pleaded not guilty Wednesday to charges of second-degree murder and first-degree manslaughter. He's in Chautauqua County Jail on $350,000 cash bail or $700,000 property bond.

Last August 22, firefighters quickly put out a fire at the home of Bruce Boje, but searched the house and found Boje's body on the couch.

District Attorney David Foley says the house immediately became a crime scene after the body was found.

Scarpino had been charged previously for assaulting Boje and an order of protection had been issued for Scarpino to stay away from Boje.
