The Adair County Sheriff's Department received a call at around 11:30am on Monday, October 2, 2006, from the Breeding Fire Department about possible arson at Sparksville School.

Deputies Charles Greer, Tracy McCarol, and Michael Burton responded to the call. Deputy Burton and Greer walked through the school and noticed several different vulgar symbols and swastikas painted thoughout the school. The graffitti was painted with orange florescent spraypaint.

It appeared that a fire was set on the stage, which caused the curtain, along with a small room on the stage, to burn.




The fire was contained to the stage area only, but the building suffered smoke damage.

Deputies notified the KSP Arson Team to help with the investigation.

Sheriff's Deputies remained on the scene for several hours investigating the case.

Anyone with information is asked to please call the Adair County Sheriff's Office at 270-384-2776 or email to: adairsheriff@alltel.net
