Former Cop Facing Arson, Insurance Fraud Charges

A judge Friday denied a bond request from a former police officer accused of, among other things, plotting to burn down the Stafford County Public Safety Building and attempting to burn the residence of her child’s father in Fairfax County. Cassie Christine Crisano, 37, of Stafford is charged with multiple offenses, including fraud, identity theft and attempted arson in Stafford. Prosecutor Tara Mooney said Friday in Stafford Circuit Court that more charges are pending.
Crisano, a former police officer in Prince George’s County, Md., and a former mixed martial arts fighter, also was charged Thursday night on an attempted arson allegation in Fairfax County.
