MILTON-FREEWATER – Leeann Rose Pratt and her significant other, Robert Eugene Pratt Jr., were taken to Umatilla County Jail Wednesday in two separate incidents. The Pratts live in an RV park in Milton-Freewater.
In the first incident, Wednesday afternoon, Robert Pratt, 55, was arrested on a fugitive warrant by the U.S. Marshal’s Service. The marshals have not released the details on the warrant that prompted them to take him into custody.
That night, Milton-Freewater police officers detained and Umatilla County Sheriff’s deputies arrested Leeann Pratt, 40 and charged her with first-degree arson. She was arrested for allegedly setting a barn on fire at 1571 N. Elizabeth St.
UCSO said the investigation, which included the testimony of several witnesses, indicates that Leann Pratt used a five-gallon propane tank and a hand-held torch to set the barn on fire. Both Pratts remained in custody at the jail this afternoon (Thursday).
