The Delaware State Fire Marshal’s Office has arrested a Camden man for a fire that occurred on November 3, 2025.

Officials said on November 3, 2025, just before 1:30 PM, a fire occurred in the bathroom of a residence located in the 100 block of North West Street in Camden. Fire damage was contained to the bathroom, and no injuries were reported.

Deputy State Fire Marshals responded to the scene and determined that the fire was intentionally ignited in the occupied residence. Investigators determined that David Angelo, a resident of the home, was responsible for the fire, officials said.

On December 8, 2025, investigators learned that Angelo had returned to the home and he was taken into custody without incident. Angelo was charged with Arson 1st Degree (Felony) and 10 counts of Reckless Endangering 1st Degree (Felony). He was processed and arraigned by Justice of the Peace Court 2 and committed to the Sussex Correctional Institute on $35,000 secured bail.
