SUNDAY FIRE IN PARROTT UNDER INVESTIGATION

A house fire Sunday night in the Parrott community is being investigated as suspicious, according to the Pulaski County Sheriff's Office.

The fire in the Dry Branch section at a house belonging to Larry Johnston was reported at 10:06 p.m., Capt. Donnie Simpkins said.

The Twin Communities Volunteer Fire Department responded to the fire.

One bedroom and a bathroom were destroyed; the fire apparently started in a nearby hallway, Simpkins said. Johnston was not living in the home.

Some house windows had been spray-painted with obscenities and other graffiti, Simpkins said.
