Suspect in deadly Warren arson waives extradition, will return to Trumbull
The man accused of setting the fire that killed a Warren teenager in January will be returned to Trumbull county to face charges.
Zachary Gurd, who faces charges on eight counts in connection with the January 19th fire at a Nevada Avenue NW home that claimed the life of 16-year-old Chassidy Broadstone, waived his extradition hearing in Virginia, where he was arrested after leaving town.
Gurd is accused of bringing a can of gasoline into the home, which is believed to have started the deadly fire.
U.S. Marshals arrested Gurd less than 24 hours after he fled from his Youngstown home, taking a bus to Richmond, Virginia, where he was caught attempting to escape on foot.
Gurd, along with Brendan Daviduk and Patricia Zarlingo are charged with aggravated murder, attempted murder, arson, burglary, and tampering with evidence.
No date has been set yet for Gurd's first appearance in Trumbull county.
