A former police chief in Maryland was sentenced Tuesday to eight life sentences plus 75 years for setting a series of 12 fires targeting people who he felt had wronged him.
Officials say the case started with a fire in Prince George's County in 2011. Crawford was also linked with a series of fires in Howard County between 2017-18. They were all deemed"incendiary" in nature, meaning there were no accidental sources found in the area of the fire.
All of the fires were set outside of the homes sometime around 3 a.m. when occupants would be sleeping inside.
