Family clash spawns blaze
`A Vassalboro man who allegedly poured gasoline around the house and onto two people late Sunday morning, starting a fire that burned the family home, apparently got angry when he was told he should not clean his chain saw in the house, police said Monday. [..]
Sheriff Everett B. Flannery Jr. said Knox’s brother-in-law, Timothy Barrett, 57, told Knox to clean the chain saw outside the home on 117 Main St.
Flannery said Knox pulled a coaxial cable out of the wall and began whipping Barrett with it and chasing him around while carrying an ax, before he threw gasoline on the wood stove.’
