18-Year-Old Woman Charged with Setting Massive Haverhill Mill Fire
Isabella Sargent, 18, is expected in court on arson and conspiracy charges as firefighters spent hours containing the blaze.
- Haverhill Police arrested 18-year-old Isabella Sargent on Wednesday, charging her with arson and conspiracy in connection with a massive fire that tore through an abandoned mill on Stevens Street early Tuesday.
- The mill on Stevens Street had been vacant and boarded up since a 2015 blaze that also resulted in four teenagers being charged with arson at the same location.
- Firefighters arrived around 2:45 a.m. Tuesday to find the building "pretty well involved" in flames; crews from Georgetown, Groveland, Lawrence, and Methuen assisted in controlling the blaze, which caused "significant structural damage" but no injuries.
- Sargent was scheduled for arraignment Wednesday in Haverhill District Court, while police said, "This remains an active investigation. Investigators are working to determine the full circumstances surrounding the fire, including whether additional individuals may be involved."
- The abandoned property, located 37 miles north of Boston, has become a focal point for city officials concerned about the risks posed by vacant historic structures within the community.
