Overview
- Police arrested 25-year-old Yahmir Thompson and charged him with two counts of arson tied to Nov. 21 fires on the 500 block of Woodbine Street.
- An affidavit says Thompson told detectives he entered the homes after noticing fires but denied starting them, a version investigators say they do not believe.
- Fire crews found blazes on opposite sides of the street before 12:30 p.m., knocked them down quickly, and reported structural damage with no injuries.
- Court records show Thompson is being held on $50,000 bail at the county jail, following transport to Dauphin County Prison.
- A preliminary hearing is set for Dec. 10, and police ask anyone with information to call 717-558-6900 or submit tips through Crimewatch.
