A Lawrence man was ordered Monday to stand trial after a fire investigator testified that gasoline was detected at the corner of a queen-size bed in a June 10 fire at a southeastern Lawrence trailer home.

Lt. Christopher King, a fire investigator for Lawrence-Douglas County Fire & Medical, testified in a preliminary hearing for Trevor A. Toussaint, 43, Lawrence. He faces arson and burglary charges in connection with the blaze that gutted the trailer where his ex-girlfriend, Kimberly Berry, lived with two of her children.

“In my opinion this fire is directed at the bed, which is kind of a personal area of the relationship with the two involved,” King said.

No one was injured in the fire.

The investigation also determined that the fire was intentionally set. A trail of gasoline was started on the bed and moved back into the hallway of the home in Harper Woods mobile home park, 2200 Harper St.

Investigators focused on Toussaint and believed the fire was set out of revenge, because he and Berry had separated weeks earlier.

King also said that investigators ruled out appliances inside and outside the trailer as potential causes.

Last week in court, a 10-year-old boy identified Toussaint as the man he saw sitting on the back porch of Berry’s mobile home shortly before the fire started.

District Judge Paula Martin ruled that the testimony from the boy and fire investigators were enough to require Toussaint to stand trial.

Defense attorney Charles Whitman said he would hire an independent investigator in the case.

The trial is scheduled to begin Jan. 19.
