Security Guard Arrested In Maryland Arson Case A security guard for a company hired to protect construction sites at a Charles County subdivision was arrested yesterday and charged with setting fires last week that destroyed 10 unoccupied houses at the development and damaged 16 others. Aaron L. Speed, 21, was taken into custody by federal agents in Charles County yesterday while undergoing a polygraph test, several law enforcement sources said. Speed, who spent time at the subdivision as a guard for Security Services of America, is scheduled to appear this morning before a magistrate judge at U.S. District Court in Greenbelt to face a charge of arson. The law enforcement sources, speaking on condition of anonymity because the investigation is continuing, said Speed made self-incriminating statements during the polygraph test, prompting authorities to arrest him. They said more arrests are possible.

Just an interesting observation to add on here.

Sahim Alwan, of the Lackawanna Six, worked as a security guard with the Iroquois Job Corps Center in Medina, N.Y

Timothy McVeigh worked as an armed security guard in Buffalo NY.

No, I don't know if it means anything. But it felt like a useful thought to keep in mind on this thread.

It is enough to make one stop and think.

And wonder how many more should be on the list?

One has to ask, does the area have a lot of fires?
