A grey minivan driven by the couple was pulled over by the Sheriff's Office and Virginia State Police after it was observed dropping off Smith in front of an unoccupied structure on Airport Drive. It was again observed picking him up. The officers converged on the building spotting the fire and quickly stopped the minivan. According to Geller, both were taken into custody without incident.

| Charles Smith aka Applegate |
Interrogation revealed that Smith and Bundick were involved in what Geller stated were the large majority of the 76 arson fires that have occurred in Accomack County since November 13, 2012. She stated that law enforcement is comfortable that these two are the main arsonists.
Smith, aka Charlie Applegate, operated Charlie's Auto Body in Tasley. The couple did live together, and there were also children in the residence, but, Geller stated very clearly, the children were not involved in any way. No motive was announced.
Geller was unable to give many of the details stating that while the initial investigation is over, this is merely the beginning of the end, and police and the Commonwealth's Attorney's office will now begin the process of ensuring Smith and Bundick are prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
Geller stated Commonwealth's Attorney Gary Agar will be bringing several more charges against Smith and Bundick very soon, but did not offer details.
Geller also did not give any details as to when the police presence on the Eastern Shore will begin to be reduced.
The investigation remains ongoing at this time. Anyone with information about these two individuals relating to the arsons or just the arsons in general is still encouraged to call or text the Accomack County Arson Tip Line at 757-655-1437.

In all fairness Ithe person or supposed lady opened the discussion with an seemingly out of line spree of bad seed an an bringing the suspect's family into the discussion which seems to me as very disgusting to do for anyone to blame someones parents for a childs criminal behavior so maybe she should backoff with her selfish rant an leave this discussion to the storyline in question

Where have you been? Many times children learn bad behavior/criminal behavior from their parents.
Cities and towns are full of families like that.
They also learn bad behavior an criminal acts from.society an tv also but to just Blame everyone for their child's behavior isn't fair to families or society Blame the Individual an besides the ppl in this are far from Children They are Adults
Wow 20 comments on the PPE!
Way to go!
I can hardly understand half of the comments. It is amazing to see the english skills some of these people have. I can hardly believe they can turn on a computer!
It's amazing when someone so deficient in basic "english skills" themselves, feels compelled to correct others.
English is taken from the proper noun England, therefore it is capitalized when used in a sentence. Ending a sentence with a preposition is improper as well.
Come back and correct us after you complete a remedial English class 6:49, okay?
