Mitchell LaMere, the man charged with setting a house fire on Rocky Boy's Indian Reservation that killed a Box Elder man, has been transferred to Cascade County Regional Prison in Great Falls.

Hill County Detention Administrator James Dahl said Monday that LaMere, 24, of Box Elder was handed over to the FBI at 8 a.m. Thursday.
