Jail Inmate Worries As His Houses Burn

Posted: Thu 2:15 PM, Aug 30, 2012

LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) -- A jail inmate says somebody is burning down houses he owns while he is behind bars.

Fire investigators are looking into two house fires on the same street in Mount Sterling. Neither home has electric service and the blazes are viewed as of suspicious origin.

Frank Jones owned both of them. The 57-year-old Jones is held in the Montgomery County Jail on drug trafficking charges.

Jones told WLEX-TV in Lexington he thinks someone has it in for him and he's concerned about four other houses he owns.

Any tips should be phoned to the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office at (859) 498-8704.
