On a late November night, a pickup truck stopped in front of the Lebanon County home of John and Ellie Salahub to make a statement.
Signs in their front yard had been drawing vulgar responses by passersby, but this time, Nov. 16, an animal was set on fire.
Home security footage showed that someone got out of the truck, and within moments, the front yard burst into light. Almost immediately, flames flare up several feet towards a wooden fence and a tree, John Salahub said. When the flames subsided, we were horrified to see a raccoon had obviously been doused with flammable fluid and ignited.
