Arson rise noted in South Carolina reports
Myrtle Beach officials say arson cases increased in 1990, driven partly by economic slowdown. Deputy arson chief Bill Taft cites insurance motives as a factor and notes penalties for arson with death or serious injury range from five to 25 years. One case tied to Daniel A. Vogel Jr. involved a $185 million oceanfront home destroyed by fire in 1987 with about $2 million paid in insurance. Vogel awaits sentencing, facing about 12 years. State LEA data show 1,385 arson cases in 1990, up 17 percent from 1989.
