Fire and police investigators are still looking into a case that started a couple of weeks ago, and ended with a 17-year old boy's pickup truck on fire. The fire happened back on the 24th, and investigator Nick Hamby released the report yesterday. In it, he says 17-year old Ronda resident Charles Tyler Sale was visiting a home on Barker Road late the evening of the 24th, and was alerted by some neighbors that his pickup was on fire in the driveway. Earlier in the evening, the pickup and trees were covered with toilet paper in a juvenile prank, but no damage occurred. The pickup was in good repair, according to Hamby, and showed no signs of fire in the engine compartment or of an electrical nature. Only the passenger compartment had caught fire, and it was damaged heavily. the loss estimate on the 1994 Toyota pickup is 4-thousand dollars. None of the people in the area at the time were able to identify any possible suspects, or offer a guess as to why Sale's pickup might have been targeted. The investigation continues.
