Investigators announced a second arrest in connection with a Monday night arson on Virginia’s Eastern Shore.

Applegate and his fiancee Tonya Bundick were pulled over during a traffic stop last night after an arson in Melfa, Virginia.

This morning Bundick, 40, was charged with one count of arson and one count of conspiracy to commit arson, according to Virginia State Police spokeswoman Corinne Geller.

No one was hurt in Monday night’s structure fire.

State police and Accomack County Sheriff’s Deputies are investigating 70-plus arson fires that have burned in the county since mid-November.

This is a developing story.
