JEFFERSON COUNTY — A motion was filed Friday in Jefferson County court seeking the release of New Jersey records for a 39-year-old Mt. Vernon man charged with three charges in Jefferson County, including two counts attempted murder: one for a pregnant woman and the other for her unborn child, as well as a felony kidnapping charge.

Victor Serrano was arrested in New Jersey in 2010 after he allegedly barricaded himself in his home, then set the house on fire following a domestic violence incident, according to local publications at that time.

Serrano allegedly had beaten a female in the house with a wooden club, and set fire to furniture on the first floor. Fire and heavy smoke spread through the house as officers broke out a window of the duplex, trying to control the fire with a fire extinguisher, police said.

Officers convinced Serrano to jump to safety from a second floor window of the home. He was then taken into custody.

He was charged with aggravated arson, aggravated assault with a weapon, terroristic threats and weapons offenses.

Prosecutors in Illinois say he attacked a pregnant woman in Mt. Vernon in January before leading police on a high-speed chase that ended in Indiana. Serrano has already pleaded guilty to charges in Indiana from that chase. He’s serving a one-year sentence while still being held in the Jefferson County Jail with bail set at $500,000.

He’s next due in court October 8 in Jefferson County court for a ruling on Friday’s motion.
