Roane County Sheriff Jack Stockton says a 12-year-old boy was arrested yesterday for starting a fire inside a home on Webster Road just north of Harriman. The juvenile then picked up an axe and waited on his parents to come home. When deputies arrived he ran out of the dwelling into nearby woods. When he was approached by one officer, he swung the axe at him and missed. The child was taken into custody. Firefighters put the blaze out quickly. No injuries were reported.
