WALDORF, Md. — A southern Maryland man has been charged with starting a fire that killed his girlfriend's 27-year-old daughter and 1-year-old granddaughter.
Charles County Sheriff's Office has arrested Vincent Anthony Fisher II, 46, of Waldorf, according to a press release.
Investigators had originally found Rashawn Cline, 27, and her daughter, 1-year-old Dashawn Cline, dead inside the home on Heathcote Road in Waldorf at about 10:30 p.m. March 31. Fire crews had been called to the house after reports of an altercation and a fire.
