ARSONIST TARGETED GROOMSMEN AFTER FAILED MARRIAGE
Authorities in Northern California have charged a man with arson after he allegedly set fire to homes and cars belonging to his groomsmen as part of a vendetta because they didn’t support him after his marriage fell apart.
Joshua Van Buskirk was arrested last month and later charged in connection to a string of arson fires in Antioch, Concord and Pleasant Hill.
The bizarre case began when a pickup truck belonging to one of Ban Buskirk’s groomsman’s was set ablaze. At the time, he and his wife were going through a divorce.
Police say investigators quickly identified Van Buskirk as a suspect when they linked the victims in each of the three arson fires to his wedding party.
