SALISBURY, Md. – Salisbury Police have charged an individual after they were caught on surveillance video setting a 55-gallon garbage can on fire inside a downtown parking garage. The incident occurred around 11:56 p.m. on April 17, when the person ignited the bin, which was later found the following morning.
The fire caused the garbage can to melt into a pool of plastic, but it was not discovered until approximately 10:30 a.m. when a City Ambassador found the damage. In addition to the melted trash can, a rubber tire on a dry chemical fire extinguisher near the can was also damaged. Investigators say the fire ultimately burned itself out, causing no further significant damage.
