A former Prince George’s County firefighter has been charged with arson for a fire set at a vacant Landover Hills home.
Anthony J. Sellers was arrested in his Silver Spring home June 3 after investigators linked him to a June 2008 fire at 6701 Greenland St., a fire department spokesman said. The 26-year-old was no longer volunteering for the department when the fire was set. He “had some challenges” while at the Bladensburg station, the spokesman said.
The fire Sellers is accused of setting caused $150,000 in damage and one firefighter burned his leg while battling the flames. Sellers also was charged with two other fires set in vacant buildings in Laurel and Riverdale last summer, Prince George’s fires spokesman Mark Brady said.
Sellers could face up to 20 years in prison and was released Friday on a $25,000 bail.
