CAR FIRE LEADS TO ARREST

On 1 Aug 08 Deputy Sheriff Travaglio was dispatched to 146 Stone Quarry Road, Fleming, in response to a vehicle fire that members of the Barlow Volunteer Fire Department deemed suspicious. Fire personnel stated that this was the third vehicle fire involving Clarence Tullius, age 41. Furthermore, a witness at the scene said Mr. Tullius bragged about making money off an insurance claim he filed after a previous vehicle fire.

When questioned, Tullius stated when his mother woke him the front end of his 2000 Dodge Stratus was aflame and he rushed outside to remove his stereo equipment from the dash and trunk of the car. Mr. Tullius relayed the same story to an investigator from the Ohio State Fire Marshall’s Office. Confronted with the facts that none of the audio equipment smelled like smoke and that the equipment did not have evidence of being forcibly removed, Tullius admitted lying about the sequence of events. Tullius went on to say he removed the radio two days ago and that he removed an amplifier and speakers the night before the fire. Tullius further stated that the fire had started because he intentionally flicked a cigarette under the driver’s side tire into a pile of grass. Due to the fact that Tullius earlier signed an affidavit of declaration for an insurance claim that the fire was accidental, Tullius was arrested for falsification and transported to the Washington County Jail. Additional charges against Tullius, who was later released on a personal recognizance bond, may be forthcoming.
