Fire call leads to arrests in Walhalla

The possibility for a home fire led to the arrests last week of two persons at a Walhalla home.  The police today identified the arrested as Ricky James Pierson, 53; and Tylyn Flossie Pierson, 27 on multiple charges of unlawful neglect of children.  By making his way into the Pierson home on Tyre B. Mauldin Street Thursday night, the police determined there was no fire and everyone in the home was outside and safe. However, the investigation found conditions allegedly unfit for children who ranged in age four months to ten years old.
