A Thomasville man is being held on a $1 million bond after deputies say he attempted to light a home on fire with children inside, threatened a man and assaulted a law enforcement K9.

Buddy Woodrow Rhodes, 41, of 361 Maple Lame, Apt. A, Thomasville, was charged with attempted first degree arson, assault on a law enforcement animal, misdemeanor communicating threats and misdemeanor resisting a public officer.

According to his arrest report, Rhodes threatened to stab a man and poured lighter fluid all over a living room while it was occupied by children with the intention of setting it on fire. During his arrest, Rhodes allegedly ran from a Davidson County deputy and punched, attempted to gouge the eyes and pulled on the nose of K9 Ranger.

The magistrate who set Rhodes’ $1 million secured bond ordered him to not have any contact with his wife or children until his case is heard in court. The arrest report did not include information on whether this incident occurred at his own home, if his children were the ones present or how his wife may be involved in the incident.

Rhodes is scheduled to appear in court on Dec. 7.
