Authorities say a man arrested for vehicle arson is linked to the Pamplin teen who recently went missing.
Westmoreland County Sheriff's Office arrested 19-year-old Juan Benavidez II, of King George, early Friday morning and charged him with a felony count of arson of a vehicle.
Virginia State Police say that just before 11 a.m. Thursday, King George County Sheriff's Office alerted the Westmoreland County Sheriff's Office to be on the lookout for a suspect vehicle allegedly headed to Westmoreland County, possibly on Route 3.
The suspect vehicle, a white 2004 Mazda 4- door sedan, was located a short time later on Leedstown Road near Twilford. Police say the vehicle had been set fire and was destroyed.
