GALLATIN, Tenn. (WKRN) – The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation is offering up to $5,000 for tips leading to an arsonist's arrest. Now, city leaders are looking for closure, after the new Sumner County courthouse was set on fire in August 2022. 'Well, like everyone else, I was quite surprised that something like that could happen in the city of Gallatin, and on top of our building,' said Mayor John Isbell. For the first time in a one-on-one interview with News 2, Mayor Isbell took a look back since the fire was set, now knowing arson was the cause.
