WOMAN FACES ARSON CHARGES

A Radford woman was arrested Sunday in connection with the torching of two automobiles and a camper-type truck attachment, causing about $11,000 in damage, Christiansburg police said Tuesday.

Janet A. King, 46, of the River Bend Apartments, was arrested and charged with the arson of a car and a truck belonging to James D. Dunford, police said.

A camper, also belonging to Dunford, was ransacked and a .357-caliber Magnum pistol was stolen, police said.

Another camper belonging to John Curtis was set aflame as well, police said.

King is charged with the arson of the two cars and camper, destruction of property and theft of the pistol. She was released on an unsecured $10,000 bond, police said.

A preliminary hearing has been set for King next week in Montgomery County General District Court.
