An arsonist early Thursday heavily damaged an unoccupied trailer at the Knights Bridge Mobile Home Park by throwing a Molotov cocktail through a window, Athens-Clarke County police said.
The fire was reported at about 2:25 a.m. by a neighbor who told police there had been several fires at the trailer previously. No one has lived in the trailer for some time, according to the neighbor.
The window through which the firebomb was tossed was first shattered by a piece of concrete, according to police. Police officers tried to put out the fire with extinguishers from their patrol car, but the blaze was fully put out by firefighters when they arrived on the scene, police said.
