LINCOLNTON, N.C. (AP) — A North Carolina man got angry with his mother during an argument, caused damage to three vehicles and set a mobile home on fire, a sheriff’s office said.
Scott Andy Norman, 34, got into the argument, threw items on the fire in the mobile home and broke windows in three vehicles with a stick, the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office said in a news release, citing eyewitness accounts given to deputies.
When firefighters arrived on Tuesday evening, the back of the mobile home was fully engulfed in flames, the sheriff’s office said.
Investigators haven’t determined what led to the argument. They said both Norman and his mother refused medical treatment by emergency personnel.
Norman was charged by deputies with second-degree arson and injury to personal property. He is jailed on a $20,000 secured bond, and it’s not known if he has an attorney.
