Craig “Whitey” Fuller
CRAWFORD CO.—An arson suspect released Tuesday, May 28, after posting $10,000 cash bond is back behind bars tonight, this according to family members.
Family sources have confirmed that Craig A. Fuller (also known as ‘Whitey’), 31, of rural Palestine was arrested and charged with Driving Under the Influence after he allegedly rolled his truck near Heathsville at approximately 3 p.m. this afternoon (Tuesday, June 3).
Fuller has been charged with the Thursday, May 16 blaze that devastated a hog operation near Trimble owned by Scott Long.
He has also been named in at least three previous fires including one near Flat Rock and one near Heathsville.
Anonymous police sources indicate that Fuller is also a person of interest in a fire that took place Saturday, June 1, after he posted bond.
This is what remains of the latest fire
in which Craig Fuller is a person of interest.
A residential fire destroyed a vacant home that was for sale located at East 900th Ave., approximately two miles southwest of Palestine.
The house is reportedly to have been a former home of Fuller’s relatives and approximately two miles from where he lives.
“The house was a total loss,” said one source. “There is nothing left.”
The only official word coming from authorities to the public about a suspect in Saturday’s fire has been that Fuller is out on bond.
