South Carolina Couple Sues Firm for Hiring Accused Arsonist
A South Carolina couple has sued a Georgia-based security company for hiring a guard accused of setting fires.
The Island Packet of Hilton Head reports Friday that Norman and Marjorie Agin say Norred & Associates and two local supervisors were negligent because they failed to investigate four fires that were set before the January 2008 blaze at their home.
The lawsuit also claims the company failed to investigate Bryan Yeager. Authorities say the guard and Lady’s Island fire fighter was in the area near the fires before they were reported.
Yeager is awaiting trial on an arson charge.
The Agins want $1 million in damages. Attorneys for the security company deny the allegations
