Stafford residents Jonathan Rios, 41, and Peal Quinn, 48, who were both wanted for various charges in Virginia, are facing new charges after being apprehended for their roles in an alleged holiday arson.
The situation began shortly before 2 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 25, when the Stafford County Sheriff’s Office received a report of a disturbance in the 600 block of Ramoth Church Road regarding a man who was breaking windows at the mobile home.
Upon arrival, officials say that deputies were met by a mobile home that was fully engulfed by flames that were swiftly knocked down by Stafford County Fire and Rescue units.
According to the sheriff’s office, the investigation into the incident determined that Rios and Quinn were having a verbal altercation shortly before the fire started, with the latter fleeing the scene before investigators arrived.
