FENTRESS COUNTY, Tenn. (WTVF) — A Jamestown woman has been arrested in connection with a house fire in Fentress County that investigators said was intentionally set while the homeowners were inside.
Special agent fire investigators with the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation and the Fentress County Sheriff’s Office responded Thursday morning to a fire along Wright Place Road in Jamestown.
During the investigation, authorities determined the fire had been intentionally set. Investigators identified Regina Owens Scroggins, 59, as the person responsible.
Scroggins is charged with two counts of aggravated arson. She was arrested and booked into the Fentress County Jail, where she is being held without bond.
Here’s a beautiful story of how one mother turned her grief journey into a gathering of gratitude… and organ donation awareness.
Robb Coles highlights a special event organized by Cari Hollis – whose 26-year old son Austin died two years ago. Austin agreed to be an organ donor – and that single gesture saved multiple lives.
Cari reached out to as many recipients she could find – several of whom traveled to Nashville for an emotional celebration in Austin’s honor. One woman – whose life was saved by receiving Austin’s lungs – put it simply: “He’s my angel”.
