BLANDING, Utah (ABC 4 News) - San Juan High School was set on fire by arsonists early Saturday morning.

San Juan County Fire was dispatched to a large fire at the high school around 4 a.m., said a press release released by San Juan County.

The blaze was believed to be started in the library and had spread through the roof system of the school.

The Blanding Police Department arrested two suspects in connection to the arson of the school. Both individuals are suspected to be tied to five burglaries which were reported at the school earlier this week, stated the press release.

Bril41- I have a guess as to who you may be as I was attending SJH the same time as you if you are who I believe you are. Back then Lyle was assigning to under cover narcotics. Did Lyle make you inhale the blunt? Did he open your mouth and pour alcohol down your throat and make you swallow it? Sounds to me that you still don't take responsibility for your own actions. Also if you are who I believe you are to be you got other kids hooked on drugs, sent an innocent guy to jail, and killed a kid in Pangutich, and alter some other in Grand county. If it wasn't for Lyle you would of been in jail before coming to SJH and also had a previous record and odds would be that you'd still be hooked on drugs.

I went to San Juan High years ago. I saw the name of one of the investigating officers on another Utah news channel and I couldn't believe it. The now " Chief of Police ", This same person, {older} Used to get me high and sell me joints in that same school. I was incarcerated several times over the years and several drug and alcohol treaments over the years. This same " investigating officer ". I am clean and sober now, but I can't guerantee it tommorow. Thank's Blanding Chief of police.
