JACKSON, Tenn. — A retired fire captain who was demoted for his handling of a 2007 traffic crash in which a teenager died has been charged with arson.
The Jackson Sun cited court documents in reporting 60-yearold Kinley Hullom’s arraignment Wednesday on charges of arson, filing a false report and evidence tampering.
Madison County firefighters found fire coming through the roof of Hullom’s home in Beech Bluff early Monday.
Court documents show investigators obtained a search warrant for a storage shed and found valuables from the home.
Hullom was a battalion chief of the Jackson Fire Department in 2007 when a fire engine stopped at the city’s outskirts before reaching a burning pickup truck in which 18-year-old Nick Melton died.
No phone listing for Hullom could be found Thursday.
