A multi-agency investigation led by the Loganville Fire Marshal’s Office has resulted in the arrest of Javon J. Heard, 42, of Lilburn, for allegedly setting several fires in the Loganville area.
The case began on March 26 with a structure fire in Loganville and escalated as firefighters responded to additional blazes on Logan Drive, C.S. Floyd Road, and off Atlanta Highway in quick succession.
All incidents were determined to be arson, sparking a coordinated response among agencies in Walton, Gwinnett, and DeKalb counties.
Investigators connected the fires and, using surveillance footage, identified Heard as the suspect.
One commercial fire caused significant damage but was contained by a fire-rated wall.
Heard now faces multiple charges, including first-degree arson and property damage, across several jurisdictions.
Authorities urge residents to recognize the complexity of arson cases and the essential teamwork required to protect the community. Read More... |
