Arrests Made in Connection to TOP Fire




The Asheville Citizen-Times reported that three have been arrested in connection to the fire that destroyed the Tribal Operations Program office. None have been charged with arson in the fire, which is what Cherokee Police have stated was the cause, but they have said that items from the TOP office were found in their possession. Hopefully an arrest for the arson will be made soon. It would be the first in a long time, since a number of suspicious fires have occurred at businesses and properties in Cherokee with no resolution. The case is still unsolved and those with information are encouraged to call the Cherokee Police Department. 828-554-6168. There is a $5,000 reward for information leading to a conviction.

Was this to cover up a burglary?
