(KAIR)--An Atchison woman, accused of setting an Atchison business on fire earlier this month, has been ordered to undergo an evaluation to determine if she is competent to stand trial.

A judge ordered the evaluation Friday for 50-year-old Angela Dugger following a hearing in Atchison County District Court.

Dugger is to be evaluated by either the Larned State Hospital or Osawatomie State Hospital.

The case was placed on hold pending the outcome of the evaluation.

Dugger was arrested October 4th on a charge of aggravated arson after Harris Service Company, located at 1621 South 6th Street, was allegedly set on fire.

Atchison Police said a 60-year-old man was asleep inside the business when the fire was allegedly set, but escaped injury.
