ATHENS, Ga. — Authorities are asking for the public’s help identifying two suspects connected to a residential fire that occurred early Monday, March 9, in Athens.
The Athens-Clarke County Police Department is working with the Athens-Clarke County Fire Department to investigate the fire, which happened in the area of Deer Creek Drive.
