A Mocksville man was arrested last week for setting a mobile home on fire.

Matthew Angel, 29, of Deer Run Drive, was charged with first degree arson. He was taken into custody without privilege of bond, pending a first-appearance hearing Thursday in Davie District Court.

Angel is accused of setting a neighbor’s mobile home on fire the afternoon of Oct. 8.

When deputies arrived, they found where the mobile home had been set fire, but had been extinguished before they arrived, said Sheriff J.D. Hartman. He added that Angel was immediately identified as the suspect.
