An Ohio doctor, Andrew Campbell, has been arrested and charged with arson after allegedly setting fire to another doctor’s house. Officials confirmed that Campbell, 33, was taken into custody following an investigation into a fire that occurred on December 7.
According to police, the fire was not accidental. Investigators determined that it was deliberately set, leading to Campbell’s arrest. On Tuesday, a grand jury indicted him on six counts of aggravated arson.
Possible Connection to an Alleged Affair
Authorities are also looking into whether the fire was connected to an alleged affair involving Campbell’s wife and Dr. Tahir Jamil, whose home was targeted in the incident.
According to a police report, Jamil admitted to having a relationship with Campbell’s wife from late July to early August 2024. On August 7, she allegedly informed Jamil that her husband had discovered their affair. This revelation has led investigators to consider whether revenge may have been a motive for the arson.
Doctor’s Background and Employment Status
Campbell is a fellow in the Hematology-Oncology program at the University of Toledo. Following his arrest, the university placed him on unpaid administrative leave.
A spokesperson from the university confirmed the decision and stated, “The University will decline further comment at this time as authorities conduct their investigation.”
Legal Consequences and Investigation
With the grand jury’s indictment, Campbell is now facing serious legal charges that could lead to significant penalties if convicted. Investigators continue to gather evidence and examine whether any additional factors played a role in the crime.
This case remains under active investigation, and further details may emerge as authorities work to determine the full extent of Campbell’s involvement in the fire.
