Suspected Haddonfield Arsonist Arrested and Charged with Harassment – NBC10 Philadelphia

Police in New Jersey have arrested a Haddon Township man in connection with an arson incident in Haddonfield and a stalking-related vandalism incident in Medford Township, according to officials with the Camden County District Attorney’s Office.

On several occasions, a home in the 1000 block of Concord Circle in Haddonfield was hit by three separate vehicle fires, and another time a concrete block was thrown through a window of the home over the course of six years, police said.

Investigators used digital evidence to determine that Michael McNeely, 42, was the suspect they were looking for, officials said. He was arrested Friday and now faces multiple charges, including aggravated arson and felonious assault.

Police were first called to the home on Oct. 18, 2017, for a car fire, officials said.

Police said they were called to the home for the second time on June 20, 2019, when the window was broken.

This was followed by the third visit by law enforcement officers when another car was reportedly on fire on June 25, 2021, officials said. The car fires in 2017 and 2021 are still under investigation.

A third vehicle fire was reported at the same home on Oct. 21, 2023, police said. Surveillance video captured a person pouring gasoline on the car and setting it on fire.

The video shows a person setting a car on fire in Haddonfield, New Jersey. According to investigators, the property has been the subject of previous arson attacks.

Medford Township Police Department officers then responded to the block of High Point Drive for a report of a bench that had been spray-painted and vandalized on Nov. 9, 2023, according to prosecutors.

McNeely also faces charges of harassment and stalking, officials said. He was taken to a Camden County correctional facility and is currently awaiting a court date.
