TYLER — A U.S. magistrate judge found a Tyler man mentally competent to stand trial. KETK reports Todd Edward Jacobs, 44, will stand trial for allegedly conspiring to burn down a drug recovery center in Tyler. Jacobs is also accused of attempting to hire someone to kill his co-conspirator so he could not testify against him. Jacobs was indicted in June. He’s charged with solicitation of arson, witness tampering and “murder for hire.” Jacobs is facing up to 30 years in prison.
