Four firefighters from the Nanjemoy Volunteer Fire Department responded and quickly extinguished the fire which began to involve brush in the woods.
It was determined that the fire began in the interior passenger compartment of the vehicle.
The fire completely destroyed the car valued at nearly $9,000.
Investigators obtained a Grand Jury Indictment for Charles County Circuit Court leading to the arrest of Sigmon and Kreamer.
On September 22, 2014, both individuals were taken into custody at the Charles County Sheriff’s Office in Waldorf of Charles County.
The Volkswagen Jetta was owned by Edward L Sigmon. The fire was intentionally set for monetary gain from the insurance company.
Both are being held at the Charles County Detention Center and are awaiting a bond review by a Charles County Circuit Court Judge.
