GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) - A 46-year-old Green Bay man has been charged with setting fire to his home that was in foreclosure.

Timothy R. Porter was charged Friday with a felony count of arson. The charge carries a maximum penalty of 25 years in prison.

A criminal complaint says Porter's $69,300 home is in a foreclosure action by a bank.

Prosecutors say Porter set fire to the home Wednesday. A neighbor told investigators Porter had been removing items from the house earlier in the day and left shortly before smoke and flames began pouring from a basement window.

A Green Bay Press-Gazette report (http://gbpg.net/oueGmQ ) says Porter's bond was set at $2,000 cash.

The Associated Press tried to reach Porter Saturday but his telephone number was disconnected. Online court records didn't list a defense attorney.

For doctors trying to reach their patients online, using Google+ can provide surprising marketing benefits that help them be more “findable” on the web.
