Wednesday, Nov. 13, at 9:20pm; Paris Officers responded to the 1000 block of Polk Street to assist Paris EMS. A complainant stated that a male had just walked into her residence covered with burns and the odor of gasoline. Arriving officers observed the male lying on the floor, with substantial burns on large portions of his body, and detected the strong odor of gasoline. The complainant provided surveillance camera footage, showing a large flame come from the backyard of a residence, across the street and then showed the male making his way to her residence. It appeared that the male had been across the street, in the back yard, cleaning up and burning piles of leaves when the incident occurred. The male was care-flighted, and an “Open Fire” report was taken.

🌟✈️ Travel Tip Alert! Why You Should Consider Using a Travel Agent ✈️🌟

👱🏼‍♀️As a travel agent, I have exclusive connections with suppliers and vendors, which means I can get better rates for your travel needs. Many people do not know that our services are entirely free, and we get paid by booking trips for you. 🤗

✨So, how exactly do I get paid then?✨

It's simple: my commission is built into the price of your travel at no added cost to you!! The commission is already factored into every aspect of travel from hotels, flights, excursions, rental cars, etc. but it's a matter of releasing the commission portion to a travel agent or keeping it as profit.

For example, if a hotel room costs $100 a night, and I book it for you under my travel agent ID, the hotel gives me a portion for booking the room for you. If you book the same hotel for the same price, the hotel keeps that commission for themselves.

☎️So why not take advantage of my expertise and connections for your next trip? Contact me today to start planning your dream getaway! ✨🌍

Despite an "unsafe, do not enter" placard, individuals were caught on video admitting to taking and selling metal from the site. The police have now filed a Felony Burglary of a Building report.
