Another Local Resident Arrested While Their Home Burns
October 18th, 2011 by Joe Burgess
Around 12:30 Sunday afternoon, the Monticello Fire Dept. responded to the report to a mobile home fire in the Koala Bear Trailer Park on Scott Street.
The resident of the trailer, Eric Burton Bell, attempted to get close to or enter the burning structure while firefighters were still battling the blaze and was arrested by MPD. Bell was charged with Disorderly Conduct, Obstructing Governmental Operations, Possession of Controlled Substance, and Resisting Arrest.
The cause of the fire was undetermined, but it appears that most of the damage was done in the living room / kitchen area of the trailer.
Another local resident was arrested after she set her own trailer on fire, and assaulted a family member, earlier this month.
