COUNCILMAN ACKNOWLEDGES SON WAS ARSONIST

(Connersville, IN)--Connersville City Council member Tommy Williams has now acknowledged that the man who confessed to burning Williams’ home down is Williams’ own son.  Tommy Harrison was arrested more than a year and a half ago under federal charges because he came from Alabama to set the fire.  Nowhere in the charging document is the relationship between Williams and Harrison mentioned, and Williams had not come forward publically about it until now.  The FBI claims that Harrison called his father nine minutes after parking near the home to set the fire.  Williams was out of town when the fire was set.
