Hiram Teen, Others To Face Arson Charges

Updated: We've added video from Douglas County Sheriff Phil Miller's press conference from Tuesday.

A Hiram teen is slated to be arrested and charged in connection with the May 12 burning of the General Western Cotton Mill in Douglasville.

Phil Miller in a press conference Tuesday said 18-year-old Terry Carringer of Hiram will faces charges of arson, interference with government property, criminal damage to property and burglary upon his arrest, which is expected to occur later today or Wednesday. Another individual, 20-year-old Christopher Roberts of Douglasville, is expected to be arrested in the same time frame to face the same charges.

Two teens have already been arrested in connection with the cotton mill’s burning—17-year-old Jeromie Hand of Douglasville and 18-year-old Adrian Bond of Shelbyville, Tenn.

Douglasville Patch will have complete coverage of Sheriff Phil Miller’s press conference later today. Learn more about the current and impending arrests in this case and read past stories about the cotton mill and the fire that destroyed it .

I am torn on this decision. Even though homosexuality is a sin, it is no greater a sin than lyingRead More or cheating. If the troop had boys who were not Christian & they were committing those sins then that sin was being brought into the church. I think Christians need to remember that no one sin is greater than another. I think the parents of the boy scouts would have to determine if they wanted their child to participate in the troop if their was a homosexual in their group. However, the church hosted the Boy Scouts upon a certain charter. When that charter was changed then the church has the right to decide if they want to continue the association. I know of other churches that ended their hosting of Boy Scouts last year because the group was becoming too politically polarizing & they felt that conflicted with the ministry of the church. It is a fine line with views on both sides but I feel each church has to decide what is best for them...it is after all their facilities.

Do we not remember who Jesus surrounded himself with? Don't believe for one minute that there is notRead More one homosexual in your congregation, or for that matter an adulterer, a fornicator, a thief, a liar, the list goes on. And if you are a real stickler, any divorcee that has dated or remarried is committing sin every day. I do not believe in the gay lifestyle but I do believe in what good the boy scouts do. Shame on you for abandoning them when they need you the most
