Benson Man Accused Of Setting Fire To His Own Home
BENSON — A Benson man already facing charges in a separate mailbox fire case is now accused of setting fire to his own home.
Isidoro Florest Molina, 45, of 1185 Benson-Hardee Road, was arrested Tuesday night and charged with second-degree arson. Johnston County 911 received the fire call at 6:23 p.m.
Authorities allege Molina set fire to his singlewide mobile home on Benson-Hardee Road. The residence sustained extensive damage.
Benson, Elevation, West Johnston and Four Oaks fire departments responded to the scene.
No injuries were reported.
Molina made his first court appearance Wednesday, Oct. 14, when bond was set at $500,000.
Molina was already facing charges from an earlier case in which Johnston County sheriff’s deputies alleged he poured gasoline on a neighbor’s mailbox and mailbox post on Bailey’s Crossroads Road and set them on fire.
He was charged in that case with felony burning of personal property. The charge remain pending.
Molina had been free on $30,000 bond in the earlier case before his arrest Tuesday night.

He also stabbed someone 3 weeks ago
Deport him immediately!
Is your assumption that hes not a citizen? Is it because hes brown?
Don’t matter ! WORST OF THE WORST! Ship his a** off to Kenya or Sierra Leone . They will show him what happens to habitual unmanaged violent behavior. There is absolutely no reason that this person is allowed to keep free to walk amongst human beings! It would be too dangerous to even place this idiot in any mental facility! Get him to he** out of Johnston County NOW!
Can you translate this to English?
Regardless, he has a lengthy criminal history and NC lawmakers have failed us.
right?
He is from here!!!
Not until he spends at least 200 years in prison for all the crimes he has already committed! He should not see the light of freedom until he’s at 245 years old. Even then, it would be unlikely any country would want him.
Why can’t you burn your own house as long as you don’t try to get insurance money
1st, he lives there but it’s not “his” trailer.
2nd, this is the third structure to burn on this property in the last year and a half. He was suspected in the other two however due to the extensive damage it was undetermined. Despite someone in community having video of him potentially setting the fires.
3rd, not mentioned in this article he’s also on bond for stabbing a family member two weeks ago.
He also just got out of prison a few months ago for a probation violation related to ANOTHER fire he set, again not mentioned in this article.
Everyone in the area he lives in has been harassed and threatened by him.
He’s the very definition of someone who should be sent to prison for life as a danger to the community. Although this could have been solved a long time ago in the family wouldn’t bail him out of jail every time.
The previous house he burnt down they did get insurance money for.
As long as you stay inside the entire time, I don’t care.
This isn’t his first nor the only county. He stabbed someone a few weeks back.
He followed a lady home from her work and stalked her. He chases his family with a machete knife around the yard.
He really needs help and away from people, family, friends, neighbors he can harm
Might be a mental situation and this could be any of us
He stabbed someone 3 weeks ago was out the next day. Burned down his mamas other house & a camper last year. The neighbors property and now his mamas new house. Let’s not count all the other trouble he stays in. He is dangerous & the court system is not doing its job!!!!!!
The DA’s office is not doing their job! He is a danger to the community and that has been proven time and time again. He keeps getting a slap on the wrist and a few months prison time and off he goes again to terrorize everyone. Someone is going to end up dead because the justice system continues to let him run the streets and cause havoc.
Sounds like he needs to be in central regional hospital under psychiatric care in the prison they have there
He is so unpredictable and it’s scary to have someone like that in our community. Look at the previous charges…dismissed! If you look up his record it’s very long and dates back almost 30 years. He’s spent a few years in prison and most of his adult life on probation. He’s a habitual felon, has several charges for assault on a female, kidnapping, burning personal property. He’s terrorizing our community and who knows whose house he will decide to burn next? It could be one with a family inside and can’t get out. Is it going to come down to him taking a life before he’s taken seriously? Come on Johnston County DA’s office…DO YOUR JOB!
