A fire set at Murchison Homes, located at 2725 Jefferson Davis Highway, appears to have been “intentionally set,” according to a press release from the Lee County Sheriff’s Office.
Captain Jeff Johnson said deputies responded to the location early Tuesday morning after an alarm call and found that a window had been broken out and a roll of toilet paper soaked in some type of oil and set on fire had been thrown into the business.
The roll, however, fell into a sink and damage caused by the fire was minimal.
The case is under investigation.
