A second arrest has been made in connection to several barn fires in Elkhart County.

The Elkhart County Sheriff’s Office announced the arrest of Sherry Thomas, 32, of Nappanee, just one day after announcing the arrest of Joseph Hershberger, 41, of Nappanee.

Thomas was taken into custody on the preliminary charges of arson and attempted contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

Hershberger also now has an additional preliminary charge of attempted contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

A request for formal charges has been submitted to the Elkhart County Prosecutor’s Office.

Since mid-April, barns in Elkhart, Goshen, Syracuse and New Paris have burned.
