Jackson County man sentenced to at least 3 years for 2020 crime spree

Last August, Jackson County deputies responded to reports of a vehicle fire on Parris Branch. They arrived to find a 2008 Mercury Mariner burning. A torn shirt sleeve, shoved into the gas tank, served as a rough-hewn wick.
When a car sped by, deputies followed. They stopped the car. Among the six people inside they found Quentin Riggs, 25.
