Two in Georgia Charged with Arson, Insurance Fraud
Authorities have arrested two former Oconee County (Georgia) men on charges of arson and insurance fraud in connection with a January house fire.
Sheriff’s office records show that 60-year-old Carl Anthony Lasco and 47-year-old John Randy Holt were booked into the Oconee County Jail.
The men are charged with first-degree arson, insurance fraud and making false statements for the fire, which broke out at their home about 1 a.m. Jan. 27.
Sheriff Scott Berry said his office and the state fire marshal suspected arson in the case a few days after the fire.
