Mangum's ex-boyfriend says he set clothes on fire (DukeLax update)

Crystal Mangum's ex boyfriend went to the Durham County district attorney's office Monday, trying to take responsibility for a February incident that left Mangum charged with arson for allegedly setting a pile of clothes on fire.

Milton Walker, the ex-boyfriend, says he set his own clothes on fire and damaged his own house and vehicle.

"At that time I wasn't on my medication," Walker wrote in a notarized handwritten note. 'The breakup of my relationship aggravated my symptoms and I acted out on the voices I was hearing." Quantcast

Mangum is charged with arson, contributing to the delinquency of a minor, injury to personal property and resisting an officer. Police say she set Walker's clothes on fire in a bathtub while her children, ages 3, 9 and 11, were present and police officers were in the home responding to a domestic violence call. In 2006 Mangum's accusations of rape caused Duke University lacrosse players to be charged; months later, the charges were dropped.

I’ve not heard that alleged. The dispute was over her “cheating” on him. http://www.newsobserver.com/2010/06/30/559021/duke-lacrosse-accuser-holds-press.html

So he sounds like a “legitimate” ex-boyfriend rather than pimp. But, of course, a pimp might also be concerned about his girls’ cheating him out of money due etc.

* Steven Matherly (Ward 3) acquitted on disorderly conduct and trespassing charges from his actions at a Durham school board meeting. But he did not mention five charges for writing worthless checks between 1990 and 1995, or a 1993 charge for driving with a revoked license. Records show Matherly pleaded guilty to two of the misdemeanor check charges, as well as the license charge. Asked about the charges, Matherly said: “They are what they are, and that is all I have to say.”

She didn't start the fire.
It was always burning,
Since the world's been turning.
She didn't start the fire.
No she didn't light it,
But she tried to fight it.
