LUMBERTON — A 16-year-old junior firefighter was among two people charged this week with arson.

Christopher Matt White, of Patterson Street, Lumberton was charged with setting woods fires twice, according to Lt. Brian Duckworth, a fire investigator with the Robeson County Sheriff’s Office. Duckworth said that a fire was set on March 29 behind the Northwoods Fire Department, where White was a junior firefighter, and the second fire was on Saturday near Bee Gee Road in Lumberton.

Duckworth said that second fire had to be plowed under by the state’s Forest Service.

White was released to a relative on a $5,000 bail and is scheduled to appear in court on May 6. His photograph was not available from the Robeson County jail.

In an unrelated case, a woman who used to live in St. Pauls was charged Tuesday with arson after investigators found that she had set her own car on fire, according to Duckworth. Duckworth said that Amanda Renee Ivey, 40, of Sapona Road, Fayetteville, tried to destroy her “canary yellow” car because it was noticeable and she was trying to elude people who had been harassing her and her family.

She is charged with burning of personal property, insurance fraud, obtaining property by false pretense, and obstructing and delaying an officer. Ivey also was charged by Fayetteville police with filing a false police report, Duckworth said.

According to Duckworth, Ivey’s damage car was found damaged on McRainey Road in St. Pauls on April 7. Duckworth said that Ivey had falsely reported her car stolen to the Fayetteville Police Department.

Duckworth said Ivey used insurance money for a rental car.

Ivey was given a $11,000 bond. She was scheduled to appear in court today, and again on May 21 in Fayetteville on the charge of filing a false police report.

Dear Onetwenty

If you need skin pierced and indelible ink shot into the piercing s in order for someone to look good to you, I would suggest you are he one with issues. I like the female body just as God made it. There are also Biblical directives to not tattoo or pierce your body, as God sees it as an abomination. The body is his temple in case you have never seen this scripture, and it makes Him angry to get it mutual tee with a tat or piercing, or other such foolishness. And finally, all of these things are very unhealthy, and you play Russian roulette with AIDS or hepatitis infections for a simply cosmetic reason

And I'm about as far away from being a dumbocrat as I am the man in the moon. And while I mean no insult to your wife, tats are for drunk, stupid young military enlisted trying to impress their buddies. Not for cultured ladies. That's what nice lingerie is for!

I'm wondering where my witty reparte went? As usual,when there is arson, I sent out my recommendations that matches and lighters be licensed objects in this county, as poor Lt Duckworth can't work forever and will tire someday?

I also offered some coture tips to young women about stupid places for tats, ,and predicted what happens to these as gravity takes oner. Ok, I've gowned it down, can it be printed down?

Note to all females.....real ladies don't have tats.....anywhere.

Ranger,

If you introduce a race element to a story in which there is no racial element, it will not be approved. That is why the comments were not approved.

@RangerSgt I will agree that not all tattoos are placed perfectly on a females body. but to say a real lady doesn't have tattoos anywhere is just plain democrat. my wife, the mother of my children has tattoos, and she's sexier than anyone unfortunate enough to come into a relationship with you. I completely understand you're just afraid of what you know nothing about, as most democrats are. gain some knowledge before you open your mind and let your stupidity out. just to be clear, her tattoo placement is ridiculous, and not at all artsy. "my body, my canvas" your opinion is irrelevant.

Lmao. U sound so ridicously stupid. I have tats and i wear them proudly. I have a job, a home, 2 vehicles and i raise my daughter all my own. Everything i have i got alone. Who are u to judge the actions of others? You talk about the bible. Did u also read the scripture about judging others? Havin tats is creativity. Some people hang their art in their home. I wear mine for all to see and i do it proudly. You say real ladies dont have tats. Im more of a lady than ya mama ever dared to be.

No comments. WOW? Funny thing is she burned her canary yellow car so no one could spot her, and then put on a shirt so law enforcement could. Straight out of Myrtle Manor. Where no one works and everyone owns a mud truck.

Happy 236th
Thousands of people were dazzled by the fireworks display at the annual Lumberton Family Fourth celebration at the Lumberton High School football stadium on Tuesday. Many watched the display from parking lots and sidewalks around town and from their own front yards. Before the show, attendees were treated to a performance by the Carolina Breakers, and a stunt by the Army Rangers, who parachuted onto the football field.
