VEHICLE FIRE INVESTIGATION RESULTS IN ARREST

Around 12:00 am last night Lt. Wilson and Deputy Sheriff Thorpe responded to a vehicle fire in the vicinity of the 1.5 mile marker of Lake Road in Dunham Township. The Dunham Volunteer Fire Department also responded and extinguished the fire prior to the Deputies’ arrival. From the license plate, Deputy Thorpe determined the owner of the Dodge Stratus was Teddy L. Church, age 42, 253 Lake Road, Belpre. Interviewed at his home, Mr. Church initially denied knowing the whereabouts of the vehicle and said he had been home the entire evening. Deputy Thorpe pressed Mr. Church on inconsistencies in his statement at which time M. Church said he drove the Dodge to where it was found and the vehicle caught fire. He said while the car was burning he walked home, made a sandwich and went to bed without phoning emergency to extinguish the fire.

The Deputies viewed an empty gas can sitting near the entrance to Mr. Church’s home as well as a fire extinguisher that Mr. Church’s wife said was in the Dodge. Based on their investigation and other evidence gathered at the scene Deputy Thorpe arrested Mr. Church for a fourth degree felony charge of arson. He remains incarcerated without bond pending his initial court appearance Monday.
