Denton Man Charged in Vehicle Fire

CAROLINE COUNTY, MD – An investigation into a vehicle fire at Kibler Road and Plummers Lane in Greensboro has led to the arrest of Nicholas Conner (33) of Denton. The Greensboro Volunteer Fire Company and Caroline County Sheriff’s Office responded to the fire in the early morning hours of December 13, 2020, which completely destroyed a 2014 Ford Focus valued at approximately $8,000. Further investigation by the State Fire Marshal’s Office revealed Conner was operating the vehicle without a valid driver’s license when he was involved in a single vehicle collision, which subsequently caused damage to the vehicle. Due to the extent of the damage and a suspended driver’s license, Conner intentionally set fire to the vehicle as a form of concealment.

Conner was charged with Arson, Second Degree and Malicious Burning, First Degree. He was served with a Criminal Summons at his residence without incident. If found guilty, Conner could face up to 25 years imprisonment and/or $35,000 in fines.
