Today, Commissioner King announced that three Danielsville residents, Mark Dwayne Kelly, 54, Tammy Kelly, 50, and Dwayne Lee Kelly, 32, have been arrested in connection with a Banks County fire. The three suspects are charged with criminal damage to property in the second degree.

On Friday, July 8th, a three-month-old pole barn was demolished in the fire.
