A Georgia man is charged with attempted murder for allegedly setting a fire at a home with a mother and her "small child" inside, just months after he was caught stalking and harassing the woman. Cops say he is currently on probation for his behavior, which included "climbing on top of the hood" of the mom's car, according to court documents.

Charles Battles, 46, is accused of setting the Gordon County home ablaze on Saturday around 6 a.m. before going on the run, with local authorities launching a manhunt for his arrest over the weekend. Police took Battles into custody Sunday and charged him with multiple crimes, including arson and aggravated stalking to go with the attempted murder charge. The condition of the mother and child he allegedly targeted is unknown, but they both survived.
