Police are investigating a fire that was set at a residence on Southwest Atlantic Street over the weekend in Tullahoma.
Wesley Eason reported to Officer Rocky Ruehling that a section of his residence had been damaged by fire. He showed officers the rear of his residence where someone had burned what appeared to be a plastic container on his back concrete steps.
Officers reported finding what appeared to be a button and several .22 caliber shells in the burned material.
The heat generated by the fire melted and discolored some vinyl siding on the house.
According to the police report, Eason didn’t have any idea of who might have set the fire.

The members of the Tullahoma Kiwanis Club will decide by the end of May whether or not to hold a fireworks show this year, that according to club member Mike Rutherford.
Rutherford appeared before the Tullahoma Airport Authority and told them that a decision still has not been made as to where to hold the show.
Rutherford said that some money has been promised to have a show at the airport or a possible show at the Tullahoma football field. “If we hold the show at the airport then we can have a small airshow,” he said. “That would cost about $16,000 to $17,000.”
He said that they are still trying to raise money for the show. Airport Authority Chairman Sam Crimm suggested to Rutherford that he use the website www.gofundme.com. Board member Sharon Tinkler said that people from all of the world donate to people on that site. “Tell them that you are in a small Tennessee town trying to keep alive a Fourth of July tradition and you need funding,” Crimm said. “People will donate.” Rutherford said that he would check out the site.

According to officials with the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office, the pilot of the plane that crashed on Saturday afternoon was identified as Clint Payne. His passengers were Michael Lombard, Desarae Thomas, Adam Miller, and Elizabeth Miller. All five were from Winchester, according to authorities.
Emergency crews responded to the scene of the crash around 3 p.m. Saturday on Williams Cove Road.
Three of the victims were taken to Erlanger Hospital in Chattanooga, one was transported to Huntsville Hospital, and the fifth was taken by ambulance to Southern Tennessee Medical Center in Winchester.
Authorities said their injuries were not life-threatening.
The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating the crash.

Legislation that would allow handgun-carry permit holders to be armed in all the state’s parks is headed to the governor’s desk for his consideration. Both the Senate and the House approved a special committee report on the bill late last week. The measure strips a provision that would have allowed permit holders to be armed at the state Capitol complex. The legislation keeps a ban on guns at school events, but it would not apply to playgrounds and other sports fields that aren’t used by schools. The governor will review the final report and decide whether he signs it or not.
