Rogersville hen house burns after 'roasted chickens' message
Member Center:
ROGERSVILLE (AP) -- A chicken coop was set on fire at Rogersville residence that has been repeatedly hit by arson.
Someone set fire to two cars earlier this year and later burned an old farmhouse on the property. Resident Lisa Crawford told authorities that whoever started the second fire left a sign stating "roasted chickens coming soon."
No chickens were in the coop that burned Wednesday but several were found slaughtered throughout the property.
Crawford told the Hawkins County Sheriff's Office she heard dogs barking then heard the rooster crowing. When she went outside to investigate she found the coop in flames.
Crawford told authorities she did not know who would want to set the fires or why.
