There's new information on the destructive fire WITN told you about first yesterday morning. Two people were arrested at the Lenoir County home before a fire destroyed it Thursday morning. Now, the SBI is involved with the investigation.
We reported yesterday that no one was home when a mobile home on Levi Lane in the Jackson Heights area of Lenoir County caught fire at 2:30 a.m. That's because the people who live there had just been arrested after a domestic violence call, according to the Kinston Free Press.
Michelle Small, 43, and James Fanning, 42, were arrested early Thursday morning, but online records say the two are out of custody.
