Another Reward Offered in Morgan County Arson

Another reward is being offered for information into the Morgan County arson that killed eight horses and may possibly be a hate crime.
 

The Humane Society of the United States is offering up to a $2,500 reward for information leading to the identification, arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible for the fire.

This reward offer is in addition to a $5,000 reward being offered by the Blue Ribbon Arson Committee.
 

Seven adult horses and one foal died as a result of last Sunday’s fire at Brent Whitehouse’s barn on West Richards Road in McConnelsville.
 

Derogatory graffiti was spray painted in large white letters on the side of the barn.
