CLAY COUNTY, Miss. (WCBI) – Clay County investigators charge two men, who are already in jail, with burning down the West Point Stockyard.

Jason Williams, 42, of Maben and Daniel Easley, 38, are both charged with two counts of arson.

The new charge is connected to the November 2015 fire.

The men made a court appearance last week for an arson charge involving a house fire.

Michael Tribble was also charged in that case.

Sheriff Eddie Scott says more arrests are expected in the ongoing investigation that spans several counties and includes several local, state and federal agencies.
