A Tennessee man has been charged with a slew of crimes after allegedly attacking his ex-boyfriend and setting his neighbor's trailer home ablaze in a March 19th incident, according to law enforcement officials.
Kijuan Lindsey, 27, faces charges including especially aggravated burglary, aggravated assault, arson, and vandalism, as per a press release obtained by Action News 5. The bond set for Lindsey stands at a hefty $452,000. When police arrived on March 19 at approximately 1:13 p.m., the ex-boyfriend reported to officers that an assault had taken place prior to the fire, with flames engulfing the mobile home next door to where he resided, officials said.
Officials responded to the scene of the mobile house fire in Millington, where a victim claimed to have been physically assaulted by Lindsey. The victim informed law enforcement Lindsey had attacked him before setting the fire, as reported by WREG News.
Details provided by the authorities further elucidate the events of that day. The victim, residing next to the mobile home that was set on fire, was allegedly assaulted by Lindsey shortly before the residents were disrupted by the blaze engulfing the neighbor's property. This sequence of events has led to Lindsey's current incarceration while he awaits further legal proceedings.
The investigation is ongoing, and additional information may come to light as the case proceeds through the criminal justice system. Both local news outlets, Ground News and Action News 5, are following the story closely to provide updates as they become available.
