A Monongahela man faces trial in connection with a fire at The Main Street Tavern in March.  Following his preliminary hearing, 29-year-old Hunter McMahon was held for court on multiple charges, including arson, aggravated assault of an officer and public drunkenness.  Authorities say he was seen setting fire to a dumpster behind the Great Wall Chinese Restaurant and then behind the bar.  Police say there is a video of McMahon at the tavern.  Police also say they found two lighters on him.  McMahon remains in the Washington County Jail in lieu of two-hundred and fifty-thousand-dollars bond.
