An arrest has been made in connection to several forest fires being set in the community of David after the Middle Creek Fire Department offered a reward for tips leading to the conviction of a person or persons responsible for those fires and the community responded. We had actually several witnesses that had witnessed the vehicle leaving the scene shortly after the fire and we followed up on that throughout the day. Later this afternoon we went and interviewed both the subject and also the person that had been riding with him. It was a red car and when we got there we did locate the vehicle in the driveway. The person that was riding with him did give us a statement but basically telling us what had happened and how the fires were set and everything in that community. 36-year-old John Shepherd of David says he never intended for the fires to get out of control. I recall one of them that I had accidentally, you know, didn't mean to say it but it just got out of control on me and couldn't get it under control so we let it go, you know. We'll never try to hurt nobody. It's very dangerous the fires are and I just noticed that it's terrible, you know, for anybody. According to the arrest citation a passenger in the car with Shepherd stated he had set several fires in the area. Shepherd was arrested in charge with two counts of willfully setting a fire and wanted endangerment and remains lodged in the Floyd County Detention Center.
