FREDERICK, Md. – Authorities have arrested a Frederick man in connection with a townhome fire that occurred early Friday morning, according to an announcement from the Frederick County Sheriff’s Office. The incident, which took place in the 5800 block of Rosebay Court, posed a significant risk to neighboring occupied residences due to the attached nature of the townhome structure.
The Frederick County Sheriff’s Office responded to the fire at approximately 1:19 a.m. Fire personnel on the scene reported observing a male, later identified as Malcolm Xavier Brown, 28, playing a guitar outside the burning residence. He reportedly fled the scene prior to the arrival of deputies. Authorities later located an individual matching the description provided by fire personnel at a Wawa on Ballenger Creek Pike. Although initially uncooperative, the individual was detained for further investigation.
A preliminary investigation, conducted in collaboration with fire personnel and witnesses, concluded that the suspect allegedly set his own townhome on fire. The charges against Brown include Arson – First Degree, Arson – Second Degree, Reckless Endangerment, and Malicious Destruction of Property, Value $1,000+. Brown was taken into custody and transported to the Frederick County Adult Detention Center.
