LUMBERTON — Investigators are looking for the person responsible for a fire that destroyed a Lumberton home on Wednesday, according to the Robeson County Sheriff’s Department.

The fire was set to a couch inside the single-wide mobile home at Lot 31 of Homestead Mobile Home Park, at Pine Log Road, at about 1:46 p.m., according to sheriff’s Lt. Brian Duckworth.

Neighbors saw a tall, slim, shirtless Indian man, wearing dark shorts and a backward baseball cap walk out of the back door of the home shortly before they saw the fire, Duckworth said. The man was seen walking in the direction of Watts Road, he said.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Sheriff’s Office at 671-3100. Callers can remain anonymous.

Wonder how they gonna find that man? That description they gave is half the county! And why don't we stop all this burning all the dadgum time?! It must be some strange fixation. If it aint the bad firefighters (and thank God for the good ones) it's somebody else just wanna smell somethin burn.

Happy 236th
Thousands of people were dazzled by the fireworks display at the annual Lumberton Family Fourth celebration at the Lumberton High School football stadium on Tuesday. Many watched the display from parking lots and sidewalks around town and from their own front yards. Before the show, attendees were treated to a performance by the Carolina Breakers, and a stunt by the Army Rangers, who parachuted onto the football field.
