(June 3, 2008)—Falls County volunteer firefighter Eric Nutt, 25, was free on bond Tuesday after he was arrested and charged with arson and making a false report or alarm, the Falls County Sheriff’s Office said.

Nutt was arrested on May 8, the sheriff’s office said.

The arson charge stems from a fire in a vacant structure on March 19 on County Road 2877 just south of Marlin.

The fire was intentionally set, the sheriff’s office said.

The false report charge stems from an incident on March 7 in which a 911 caller reported a grass fire on County Road 226.

Firefighters were dispatched, but there was no fire, the sheriff’s office said.

Nutt’s arrest comes after an investigation of “numerous vacant structure fires and several unfounded reports of fires in the Marlin area,” the sheriff’s office said.

Fred- You really wonder why the Falls Co Sheriffs Department is not cooperating and pressure was put on the J.P.??? Maybe its because the Chief Deputy of Falls County and Nutt are related!
