Man charged with burning van along Rt. 12
NORTH NORWICH – The Chenango County Sheriff’s Office arrested a man they believe responsible for lighting a van on fire along State Highway 12 in North Norwich after beating it with a baseball bat.
Thirty-three-year-old David C. Anderson Jr., of Oxford, was arrested Saturday and charged with third degree arson, a C class felony. He was arraigned in Town of North Norwich Court and remanded to the Chenango County Correctional Facility on $25,000 bail.
According to eye witnesses, a man, now believed by police to be Anderson, pulled up next to a van that was up for sale just off of Rt. 12 in North Norwich last Thursday. Witnesses say the suspect got out of his jeep with a baseball bat and beat the van’s lights and windows before lighting it on fire and driving away.
Sheriff’s Lt. Richard Cobb said the van had been sitting up for sale along the road since July.
Witnesses also said the suspect set up a lawn chair draped with a green and yellow sports jersey facing traffic on Rt. 12, displaying it to passing motorists.
Cobb said police were not releasing the specific motive for the crime, but said it was a “random, personal and emotional incident that had nothing to do with the van’s owner.”
The Chenango County Bureau of Fire investigators responded to the scene after the North Norwich Fire Department put out the flames.
