Charles R. Smith

The two Hopeton residents believed to be responsible with many of the 76 arson fires on the Eastern Shore November 2012 unti April 2013  will go to court today for preliminary hearings.

Tonya Bundick and Charles Smith will face the judge in the Accomack County District court at 1:30 today.

Court ordered evaluations of both Smith and Bundick showed they both suffer from depression. That wasn't enough to prevent today's hearing from taking place.

 
To date each is charged with one count of arson and one count of conspiracy to commit arson in connection with a fire at an abandoned structure in Melfa.
