After David Crawford left his job as the police chief of Laurel, Md., in 2010, he spent the next decade nursing grudges and setting fires to punish others, investigators say. In a stunning turn of events, Crawford, a law enforcement veteran, is now under arrest and facing dozens of charges in connection to at least 12 fires at homes, garages and cars.
Crawford was a serial arsonist, according to the Prince George s County Fire/EMS Department. It adds that investigators suspicions about Crawford were confirmed when a search of his house turned up a target list of fire victims on his cellphone.
