CHILLICOTHE, Ohio (AP) — Authorities say an Ohio property owner admitted setting his vacant trailer home on fire because he's tired of renting it to people addicted to drugs.
The Chillicothe Gazette reports Ross County sheriff's deputies arrived recently at property owned by Robert Violette and found him trying to extinguish a fire in one of his trailers with a garden hose.
An incident report says Violette, 41, told deputies he wanted to torch all the trailers on his property because of tenants who were misusing drugs.
A township fire department put out the blaze and issued Violette a warning.
