A 17-year-old is in custody after police say they started a fire at the Walmart in Sparta.
Video shows a stream of flames shooting up to the ceiling from the store’s fabric section yesterday. The fire sent customers running out of the store, and did about seven million-dollars in damage. Sparta Police are not yet naming the 17-year-old, but say they’re being held in the Monroe County Jail on arson charges. No one was hurt in the fire, and no one is guessing when the Walmart in Sparta will reopen.
