Basil Eleby sits down on the bench for his first appearance hearing at the Fulton County Jail while his public defender attempts to cover his face with a folder in Atlanta on Saturday, April 1, 2017.

The first-degree arson charge was added to a first-degree criminal damage to property charge Eleby already faced in connection with the fire Thursday evening that caused a heavily traveled overpass to disintegrate. Total bond was set at $200,000. (Henry P. Taylor/Atlanta Journal-Constitution via AP, Pool)
