A suspect in an arson in Wilmington was arrested by Maryland State Police on Monday morning in Cecil County, fire officials reported today.
Darryl Cotton is being held as a fugitive in the Cecil County Correctional Center awaiting extradition to Delaware to face charges of first-degree arson and three counts of attempted murder, Wilmington Fire Capt. Richard Danner said.
Cotton, 49, is accused of setting a fire about 6:30 a.m. Sunday in the bedroom of a home in the 3000 block of W. Second Street.
The two adults and a child inside the home were alerted by a smoke detector and escaped unharmed before firefighters arrived.
