Arson and child endangerment charges have been brought against a guy from New York who is accused of giving a firework to an 11-year-old on July 4 with the order to light it, which resulted in the burning of several residences.
According to a press release from the Nassau County Police Department, Karamjit Singh, 33, of Levittown, is suspected of providing the youngster pyrotechnics on Thursday just before nine in the morning. It is said that he “told the child to ignite” the firecracker, but it’s unlikely that he anticipated what would happen next.
“The firework malfunctioned and caused a detached shed, within the yard, to ignite which became engulfed in flames,” according to the police department. “The fire spread to the defendants dwelling and a neighboring home.”
