Tennessee woman arrested in arson investigation

TENNESSEE — A Crockett County woman has been arrested in connection with a fire that destroyed a recreational vehicle, authorities said.

The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI), in collaboration with the Crockett County Sheriff’s Office, began investigating a suspicious fire on April 1 at a home in the 4900 block of Johnson’s Grove in Bells.

Officials determined that Stephanie Tinker, 36, was responsible for starting the fire.

Tinker was arrested the same day and charged with one count of Setting Fire to Personal Property. She was booked into the Crockett County Jail.

Authorities remind the public that charges are accusations and do not constitute guilt.

Tinker is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.

Anyone with information about suspected arson is encouraged to call the Tennessee Arson Hotline at 1-800-762-3017.
