Waynesboro Police have arrested a city man for setting a van on fire while it was parked next to an apartment building in the 800 block of King Avenue.

Willie Junior Walker, 49, of Waynesboro was arrested on June 19 for Arson involving personal property. He was taken into custody without incident.

Waynesboro Police Sgt. Kelly Walker says, "Right now, he's charged with arson of personal property, but we're also examining the possibility of additional charges that may relate to the other vehicle that was damaged and also the building itself."

The incident was reported on June 18 around 4:20 p.m. When firefighters arrived, they found a 1996 Ford Mini-Van fully engulfed in fire. A 2005 Dodge Stratus and the vinyl siding of the apartment building were also damaged. Total damage was estimated to be in excess of $8,000.

Arson was immediately suspected in the case and Waynesboro Investigators were assisted by Virginia State Police Special Agents.

Walker was jailed without bond pending a hearing in Waynesboro General District Court this week.
