Suspicious fires still under investigation BY DAYMOND STEER THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

MADISON — The past nine days have been the longest stretch between suspicious fires that have plagued the Mount Washington Valley since May. In the last set of suspicious fires, on June 27, a home Glines Hill Road in Eaton and a home on Watson Hill Road in Freedom were torched. There have been no suspicious fires from June 28 to July 6, according to State Fire Marshal's Office investigator

Tom Riley. The previous stretch was seven days. The fires are still under investigation. "We're plugging along," said Riley. Police chief James Mullen said there have been about 14 suspicious fires in the area since mid-May. Those other incidents include several fires in the Ossipee Pine Barrens, a small building fire at Purity Springs Resort, and fires that destroyed two barns on a Mooney Hill Road property. A fire on Leavitt Road in Ossipee on June 28 has been ruled accidental.

Several drug and alcohol arrests on Fourth BY TOM EASTMAN THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

CONWAY — Police had a busy Fourth, but smaller-than-normal crowds kept the day from getting out of hand. There were a number of drug- and alcohol-related arrests, according to Lt.

And David Rougeau, 55, of White Horse Beach, Mass., was arrested at 5:10 p.m. on a charge of indecent exposure and lewdness for allegedly urinating in Schouler Park while in full view of families. Rougeau was near the port-o-potties, Perley said, not inside them, when he decided to relieve himself. Several people reacted, flagging down officers, and Rougeau was soon in custody. do that. They deserve a special thanks for going above and beyond." Also going above and beyond were Eastman's staff and the host of volunteers who helped pull off the parade and the day's activities in Schouler Park. Some worked from 9 a.m. to 1 a.m.
