\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

As a result, officers visited the scene and \u00a0examined an 18 X 24 foot wooden house.<\/p>\n

They reportedly observed where the perpetrator had used a hard object to break the glass of all the push-up windows on the house, and noticed several matchsticks and burnt pieces of paper on the floor of a bedroom.<\/p>
