CECIL COUNTY, Md. — A Conowingo woman is facing multiple felony charges after authorities say she intentionally set her estranged boyfriend’s travel trailer on fire last week. Krysti Nicole Dabravalskas, 39, was charged Monday following an investigation by the Maryland State Fire Marshal’s Office.

The incident began Friday night, November 29, when Dabravalskas allegedly ignited a 1986 Fleetwood Yukon travel trailer located on the property of a domestic dispute. The trailer was completely destroyed, resulting in an estimated $2,000 in damages, according to investigators. The fire department was not called to the scene.

Maryland State Police were initially alerted Saturday evening, responding to a domestic assault involving Dabravalskas in the unit block of Eckman Lane in Conowingo. During the investigation, troopers learned of the alleged arson and requested the Office of the State Fire Marshal to examine the cause of the blaze.

Dabravalskas has been charged with second-degree arson, first-degree malicious burning, arson threat, and malicious destruction of property over $1,000, in addition to a second-degree assault charge stemming from the domestic incident. If convicted, she could face up to 28 years in prison and over $32,000 in fines.

Dabravalskas is currently being held without bond at the Cecil County Detention Center as she awaits her next court appearance.
