A troubled police department at the center of two controversies caught fire on Saturday and investigators are looking into whether it was intentionally set.
Firefighters were dispatched to the Senatobia Police Department at 4:58 a.m. after a report of smoke in the building, the Senatobia Fire Department said in a statement.
Crews were able to quickly knock out the fire and the extent of the damage to the building was not immediately clear.
The U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and local agencies are now investigating whether someone set the building in Senatobia, about 40 miles (65 kilometers) south of Memphis, ablaze in an act of arson.
