Gwinnett County police arrested two more men Friday in connection with a fire that caused about $100,000 in damages to La Jalisco Super Carniceria on Buford Drive in Lawrenceville. The fire was the third at the market in weeks.

Darrius Magale Winfield, 23, and Joe D. Adams, 22, both of Ellenwood, were charged with first-degree arson, burglary, possession of a destructive device, manufacture of a destructive device and possession of tools for the commission of a crime, according to a Gwinnett County Fire Department news release.

The arrests came days after police charged Michael Johnson in connection with the fire.

Winfield is in the Gwinnett County Detention Center without bond.

Adams is being held at Henry County Jail on an unrelated parole violation. He will be released to the Gwinnett County Detention Center.
