As flames rose from the roof of the Washington County militia headquarters on Friday, witnesses reported hearing rounds of ammunition sporadically being fired...
The blaze comes just two months before the sentencing date for Hollis Wayne Fincher, who founded the militia headquarters in 1994...
Jenkins didn’t say whether Friday’s fire was related to Fincher’s arrest, but said he was looking at a number of possibilities.
“I was on the radio this morning, and we received a call from one of our regular callers, and he told me and the listening audience that the building had burned,” said Don Bright, a local resident known as a regular contributor to talk radio shows. “There’s speculation that it might be someone trying to make a point, but I don’t want to make too many projections.”
