YCSO Detectives Investigating Possible Arson Fire

Yavapai County Map Area CommandsSedona AZ (September 7, 2016)Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office detectives are seeking information following an apparent July 27, 2016 arson fire in the 11000 block of Nancy Lane, Dewey, Arizona. At the time of the fire, the house was vacant and open. Detectives are asking for help from the public.

YCSO deputies were dispatched to house around midnight on July 27, 2016, and found it fully engulfed in flames. Once the fire was extinguished by personnel from the Central Arizona Fire and Medical Authority, deputies noted the structure had been completely destroyed. Fire department and ATF investigators advised a YCSO detective assigned to the investigation as a team member that they had also investigated a fire at this home on June 11, 2016. In the June fire, the homeowner admitted to leaving a candle lit which was believed to have started that fire causing major damage to the home’s interior. Due to that fire, the homeowner moved to temporary housing off-site. The home’s interior was in the process of being renovated from the June 11 fire when the second fire (July 27) occurred.

The homeowner was interviewed after the July 27 fire about activity in and around her home during reconstruction. Throughout the past few weeks, investigators have concluded all indications point to an intentionally set fire.

Anyone with information regarding the July 27, 2016, fire is asked to call Detective John McDormett at 928-777-7334 or contact Yavapai Silent Witness at 1-800-932-3232. A cash reward of up to $1,000.00 will be offered ONLY to Silent Witness callers if they provide a tip leading to an arrest: Refer to case number 16-026932.

Citizens can contact the Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office with information or questions at 928-771-3260 or the YCSO website at www.ycsoaz.gov.
