SISTERS, OR -- Three kids were arrested over the weekend, in connection with last week’s fire at the baseball field between Sisters Middle School and Sisters Christian Academy. On May 30, firefighters extinguished a small blaze at the snack shack. A concerned citizen tipped off the Sheriff’s office that three 13-year-olds might be involved.
The teens were interviewed and admitted to starting the fire with gasoline and a lighter. Investigators say it was apparent there was no intent to harm anyone and charges of criminal mischief and arson stem from the property damage. One suspect is also charged with minor in possession of alcohol.
