GREENE COUNTY, Tenn. (WJHL) — The Greene County Sheriff’s Department is investigating after a home was reportedly set on fire Monday afternoon.

According to a report from the sheriff’s department, deputies were called to an arson on Bolton Rd at 12:46 p.m.

A witness told deputies that a man had come to her house earlier asking for a bowl of cereal. While there, the witness said the man was talking out of his head about lewd topics.

According to the witness, the man left to go home. Minutes later, another person in the area was seen by the witness running by and alerting people that the victim’s house was on fire.

The three people inside the home were warned by neighbors, who had reportedly heard the house was on fire from the man who asked for cereal.

The report states that the man who told others about the fire did not at any point notify the people inside the burning home.

Victims told deputies that they had been in an argument with the man the day before and told him to leave. He allegedly had made threats in the past to burn the home down.

Deputies located the man near Bolton Trailer Park and detained him. He was taken to the Greene County Detention Center for questioning, and his cell phone was taken as evidence.

The sheriff’s department report did not list any charges, and none of the individuals involved were classified as a suspect as of its approval on Monday shortly after 4:30 p.m.
