ARSONIST TARGETS YOUNG GIRL'S 4-H PROJECT

(Eaton, OH)--Investigators in Eaton are looking for an arsonist whose target was unusual…it was the 4-H project of a ten-year-old girl.  A chicken run had just been completed for young Carlee Watson in her backyard.  But, in the dark on Sunday, home security cameras caught someone wearing a mask entering the back yard and setting the run on fire.  The only useful description of the suspect is that it is likely a thin male.  The fire did not spread to the home and no chickens were harmed.  A gofundme account has been set to help Carlee make it to the Preble County Fair, which begins a week from Saturday.
