Teens arrested in Douglas County mill fire
Several teens are suspected in a fire at a Douglas County cotton mill.

Two teenagers are under arrest in the fire at a Douglas County cotton mill.

The ATF was called to the scene to investigate after the massive fire tore down an old Douglas County cotton mill on May 12.

Police say the teens were in the mill before it erupted. Sheriff Phil Miller said they were inhaling computer cleaning spray. Miller said the teens set the fire inside the mill but they did not intend to bu it down. One of the suspects allegedly said on cell phone video that the fire was the "best bon fire we ever built," according to Miller.

The teens now face several charges of arson. The sheriff says more arrests are expected.
