(AP) – A 23-year-old Arkansas man charged with setting a Kansas man on fire has waived his preliminary hearing.

Issac Wilson, of Centerton, Ark., is charged with aggravated battery and burglary in the Oct. 7 burning of 54-year-old Sterling Law at Law’s Council Grove home.

The Topeka Capital-J.ournal reports that Wilson on Friday waived his right to the preliminary hearing in the burning case and two unrelated cases. His next court hearing is scheduled for Dec. 6.

Law told police that 1 of 3 men poured rubbing alcohol on him and set him on fire. Law is black and Wilson is white. The U.S. attorney’s office has not yet determined whether to file federal hate crime charges.

Law suffered burns on his stomach, upper legs and hands.
