Social media creator arrested again on new arson charges in Maryland

ST. MARY’S COUNTY, Md. — A social media creator previously arrested for arson in Charles County has been taken into custody again on nearly identical charges in St. Mary’s County, authorities said Wednesday.

Joshua Christian-Stanley Jackson, who was charged last week with setting fire to a vacant commercial property and making a false 911 call in Charles County, was arrested Wednesday in connection with another arson case and false emergency report.

Jackson had been released from the Charles County Detention Center on Monday under home detention before being taken into custody again without incident. He is now being held at the St. Mary’s County Detention Center on charges of second-degree arson, second-degree malicious burning, malicious destruction of property, and making a false 911 call.

Investigators are continuing to review fire incidents and emergency calls in Calvert County.
