One of four arson-related felony charges was withdrawn against a Sellersville woman at a preliminary hearing this week, but all remaining felonies and other misdemeanors related to her alleged role in a November 2024 arson incident in Sellersville were waived to Bucks County Common Pleas Court.
Alizandria Alverio, 42, had a felony count of arson-reckless endangerment of inhabited buildings withdrawn, but three other felonies – arson-reckless burning of an uninhabited structure, arson-reckless burning of an automobile, and risking catastrophe – were waived to county court for arraignment next month.
Additionally, Alverio is charged with misdemeanor possession of a controlled substance, possession of drug paraphernalia, and recklessly endangering another person, and summary charges of criminal mischief, dangerous burning, and violation of a burn ban, according to court records.
Alverio was taken into custody on Jan. 2 by Perkasie Borough Police on a warrant issued for her alleged role in the fire that destroyed a car and shed.
Police said the Nov. 1 fire occurred on Maple Avenue in the borough, where a blaze spread to nearby brush, an unoccupied car, and a shed. Perkasie Police and Sellersville Fire Department responded to the scene to put out the blaze.
An arrest warrant for Alverio was issued on Dec. 23, police said.
Last April, Alverio was reported missing by her family.
All suspects and defendants are innocent until proven guilty. This story was compiled using public court records.
