Three Cabot residents were charged with felonies Wednesday after their illegal use of fireworks during a burn ban set several structures and vehicles ablaze.
Lonoke County authorities were called to the scene of a field fire about 3:35 p.m. near 1667 West Mountain Springs Road in Cabot. Multiple fire departments, including those of Cabot, Ward, Austin, Butlerville and Mt. Springs, responded to the scene.
A report from the Lonoke County sheriff's office said multiple structures, including a home, and some vehicles were damaged in the fire.
Authorities located and arrested three people who were purportedly riding four-wheelers in the field and shooting fireworks, according to the report. The suspects, 23-year-old Katlynn Mayfield, 21-year-old Samantha Ashley Mayfield, and 24-year-old Matthew Mayfield, were charged with felony criminal mischief.
