The Page County Sheriff’s Office reports 26-year-old Caleb Jordan Ennan, was arrested Wednesday.  He was taken into custody on a valid Page County Warrant for failure to appear on a driving while license denied or suspended. Ennan’s cash/surety bond was set at $300.

And, a reward of up to $10,000 is now being offered for information that may lead to an arrest and conviction in a Page County fire and death investigation. As we’ve previously mentioned, the fire that occurred at around 9:10-p.m. on May 2nd in Page County, remains under investigation. The blaze destroyed a home owned by 61-year-old Robert Beach, Jr. The Page County Sheriff’s Office said Monday both the fire and death are being investigated as suspicious incidents.

Investigators are aware that Robert Beach purchased an AR-15 style weapon a few weeks prior to the fire. Investigators believe that was a legal transaction but would like the private citizen who sold the weapon to Robert Beach to come forward so that law enforcement can obtain the weapons identification information.

Investigators are also looking for information from the public concerning this fire to include anyone who may have been in the area between 10:00 pm on Saturday May 1, 2021 and 6:00 am Sunday May 2, 2021. Anyone with information, is asked to contact the Page County Sheriff’s Office @ 712-542-5193, or the Arson Hotline at 1-800-532-1459.
