2 Juveniles Arrested For Arson In Sevier County Fires

  • Wednesday, December 7, 2016

An investigation by special agents with the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, National Park Service, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and the Sevier County Sheriff’s Office has resulted in charges being placed against two juveniles in connection with the deadly wildfires in Sevier County. 

Last week, at the request of 4th District Attorney General James Dunn, TBI special agents began working alongside the National Park Service and ATF to investigate the wildfires that began last month. 

During the course of the investigation, information was developed that two juveniles allegedly started the fire.

On Wednesday, a petition was filed in Juvenile Court charging the juveniles with aggravated arson. Both were taken into custody and transported to the Sevier County Juvenile Detention Center. At this time, the investigation is active and ongoing.
