From Times Wire Reports
Two teenagers were arrested in connection with a weekend church fire, but police say it doesn’t appear to be part of the string of arsons that damaged or destroyed 10 other rural churches in the state.
The 16-year-old boy and 14-year-old girl were charged with second-degree arson in the fire Sunday at Chapman’s Chapel in Glencoe, said Ragan Ingram, the state fire marshal’s spokesman.
Authorities are investigating a series of arsons that have hit 10 Baptist churches since Feb. 3.
