From Office of the Maryland State Fire Marshal:
Deputy State Fire Marshals are seeking assistance in identifying a person responsible for intentionally dousing a flammable liquid within an occupied Aberdeen apartment complex late yesterday evening.
On April 4, 2019, at approximately 10:30 p.m., Aberdeen Fire Department responded to Perrywood Garden Apartments, 230 Mayberry Drive for a reported fuel leak. Upon arrival, firefighters discovered a large puddle of suspected gasoline on the second floor of the apartment building. During the course of locating a source for the fuel, they found possible items related to the incident including an empty plastic gasoline container outside the building. Firefighters requested the Office of the State Fire Marshal to investigate.
Deputy State Fire Marshals responded and after reviewing surveillance footage, observed the below suspect entering the apartment building at approximately 9:30 p.m. The suspect places a blanket on the floor, douses the blanket with a flammable liquid and makes a failed attempt to ignite the blanket. The suspect picks up the blanket, flees the apartment building and discards the items outside.
The Office of the State Fire Marshal requests those living in the community or anyone who can identify this suspect, to contact the Northeast Regional Office at 410-836-4846 or Arson Hotline at 1-800-492-7529.
Lon Staghorn says
catch this little prick, and don’t, do not, call the police…just beat his ass so he doesn’t do it again.
Sheila says
This guy looks like a turd.
Maybe he is a relative of Bob or Soul Crusher.
SoulCrusher says
or maybe he is Sheila’s relative. Who knows?
Lent says
He looks like and is a child of God. Prayers for all.
SoulCrusher says
I’m pretty sure someone in the building knows who he is. You don’t go through all that effort for nothing….
Mrs. Dorothy Starns says
He reminds me of Soul Crusher’s rear end.
SoulCrusher says
Does everything you see remind you of my rear end? Why are you so fixated with my ass? Maybe you should talk to someone about that, or maybe you can just kiss my ass….
Mrs. Dorothy Starns says
I was wrong. He reminds me of what comes out of your rear.
SoulCrusher says
Well, at least you can admit when you’re wrong.
Fed up Aberdeen Resident says
Probably an angry douchebag of a boyfriend who is a boil on the butt of humanity ..
True Dat says
His name is Ed…..Definitely an Ed. That’s a good felon name.
SoulCrusher says
He definitely isn’t very smart as he looked right at the camera to make sure his face got seen. You’d think if someone were to be going to burn a place down they would at least try and hide their identity….
Just the facts says
Did he burn the place down?No
Perhaps he saw the camera and stopped, ditched the can and ran….
You really aren’t very bright are you?
SoulCrusher says
His intentions when he entered the building were to set a fire. What don’t you understand about “responsible for intentionally dousing a flammable liquid within an occupied Aberdeen apartment complex”? Anyway, if you can’t understand what his original intentions were then I guess your last sentence should be applied to yourself…..
Only The Facts says
Well, no…he didn’t actually carry out his plan of arson – but let’s look at the totality of the crime he did commit:
Arson can be defined as the malicious burning of another person’s dwelling. This definition can be broken down into four elements. The first element of maliciousness required that the defendant acted willfully and with wrongful intent. Those last few words are there to argue against the “it was an accident” excuse.
The next element required the defendant’s actions to produce a burning. A burning could include even the slightest damage caused by charring, but merely causing smoke discoloration to a dwelling was insufficient.
To be convicted of arson, the property burned must also have belonged to another person. Setting fire to one’s own home could not be punished as arson, although it could qualify as any number of less serious offenses.
He saw the camera, but still decided to try and burn the gasoline doused blanket? Yeah – I’m sure he had a change of heart.
Bob says
Maybe he was headed out to mow the lawn….tripped and spilled the gasoline and then used a blanket to try and wipe it up. While wiping up the gas he needed a cigarette.
