An Edison police officer with a history of disciplinary problems was charged today with five counts of attempted murder in the firebombing of a police supervisor’s house earlier this week, authorities announced tonight.Michael Dotro, 35, a 10-year veteran of the Edison force, allegedly used an incendiary device to set fire to the Monroe Township home of Edison Capt. Mark Anderko, a top aide to Chief Thomas Bryan, while Anderko and his family slept inside around 4 a.m. Monday.
Anderko, his wife, his two young children and his 92-year-old mother all escaped unharmed. The two-story, colonial-style home was badly damaged, with the greatest concentration of fire at the front of the house where Anderko’s children slept.
Acting Middlesex County Prosecutor Andrew Carey, who announced the charges in a statement, said the investigation was continuing and urged anyone with information to reach out to his office or to Monroe police.
Superior Court Judge Vincent LeBlon set bail at $5 million cash.
