Lexington man charged with arson

Posted

Deputies have arrested a Lexington man accused of intentionally setting fire to 2 abandoned buildings last week.

Corey Wayne Roscow, 28, is charged with 2 counts of 3rd-degree arson, according to arrest warrants.

“Detectives who reviewed security video determined Roscow started a fire at an abandoned building in the 500 block of Pond Branch Road,” Lexington County Sheriff Jay Koon said last Friday. “Roscow can be seen on video in the area before any visible flames.”

Security video shows Roscow driving near another fire on Pond Branch Road a few minutes later, according to Koon.

“Roscow waited until flames were visible before he reported the fires to a fire station on Calks Ferry Road,” Koon said.

Roscow was arrested Thursday. He’s being held in the Lexington County Detention Center.
