CHILLICOTHE, Ohio — Ross County sheriff’s deputies and fire crews were called to the 30 block of Brady Hill Road late Saturday after a woman reported that a man had set her house on fire and assaulted her.
The 911 call came in shortly after 10:48 p.m., according to radio traffic. The caller told a dispatcher she had left the house and was in her vehicle, and the report was relayed to responding units as a possible felony.
Fire and squad crews were placed on standby for a possible structure fire with a possible injured female, according to radio traffic. Moments later, the caller reported she had attempted to put the fire out herself, and that only smoke — not open flames — was visible from outside the house.
Deputies arrived on scene and begun an investigation.
Suspects are presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
The information contained in this story was obtained from initial emergency radio traffic monitored by the Scioto Valley Guardian and has not been confirmed by officials. Details may change.
