Arson

From Chuck:

Arson

A disturbing incident occurred last night on Carrisa way.  Some unknown individual(s) set fire to an American flag which had been displayed from a front porch. (Note:  Flag etiquette would suggest flags should be taken down at night unless a spotlight shines on them, and should always be taken down in inclement weather--this also minimizes opportunities for nighttime mischief).  Fortunately the house did not catch on fire.

Probably related, three houses away a neighbor found a rolled up "Carmichael Times" newspaper between their trailer and fence in the driveway that appeared to have been used as a torch because one end was burned.  There's no way to determine if this was the ignition source for the flag, but a connection does seem likely.

This willful disregard for life and property should be reported to the Sheriff's Department.  Note that arson is a serious crime and they might actually try to fingerprint the newspaper.

Some time during the night of 3-4 of June, someone set fire to one of the "doggy poop bag" stations located near Del Paso Manor elementary school. This is the second such incident in the past several months. If anyone has information please contact the Sheriff's Department.
