According to Ludowici Police Department Chief Richard Robertson, LCSO Deputy Robert Parker was arrested around 2:30 p.m. Tuesday and charged with arson in the first degree, insurance fraud and violation of the oath of office. The charges stem from the June 22 blaze at Parker's three-story home. Robertson said all the charges are felony counts.
