Arsonist Charged in Early Morning Fire

Arsonist Charged in Early Morning Fire
Staff Report -- A suspect in an early morning fire on Tuesday has been arrested and charged with first-degree arson, reports Churchill County Sheriff Richard Hickox. The Churchill County Sheriff’s Office received a report of a residential fire in the area of Casey Road. Upon arriving in the area, deputies found a single-wide trailer fully engulfed in flames. Hickox said during the initial stages of the investigation, information led them to believe this fire was suspicious in nature. He said deputies relayed their suspicions to the responding fire crews who then notified the fire marshal. The Fire Department responded with two command rigs, two Type 2 Engines, Type 1 truck as well as three water Tenders and 28 firefighters. While fighting the fire command personnel were made aware that the fire may be of suspicious origin.  At that point the fire was extinguished carefully so as to preserve any evidence that might exist. Hickox said the CCSO worked with the local fire marshal and later the state fire marshal in the investigation, resulting in the arrest of Dalton Killins. He is being held on $25,000 bail.   Sign up to receive updates and the Friday File email notices.

We reached out to the writer/submitter and got this info back...hope it's helpful. PBM: Pharmacy Benefit Managers are pharmacies that are owned by insurance companies. (CVS is one.) They negotiate with drug makers to get reduced pricing for medications, but they historically have not passed along those savings to patients. https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/ftc_gov/pdf/pharmacy-benefit-managers-staff-report.pdf MFN: Most Favored Nation pricing is a policy that means a country agrees to offer the same trade concessions (like tariffs or price reductions) to all member nations of the World Trade Organization (WTO). When applied to pharmaceuticals, it could disrupt global access, deter innovation, and obscure the deeper systemic issues in American health care. https://petrieflom.law.harvard.edu/2025/05/22/the-global-risks-of-americas-most-favored-nation-drug-pricing-policy/Comment publication date: 6/23/25, 7:47 AMComment source: L E T T E R TO THE EDITOR
