On June 25, 2023 at approximately 4:30AM McCracken County Sheriff’s Office deputies were dispatch to Lovelaceville Road in Lone Oak for a report that a business was on fire. Deputies along with Lone Oak Fire Department quickly determined that the cause of the fire was arson. Detectives responded to the scene and began investigating. Evidence was obtained from the multiple locations along with statements from employees and witnesses. Richard King was identified as a suspect. King had entered Kut-n-Up salon, ransacking the business searching for money. After locating several thousand dollars, King set the business on fire before fleeing the area. Detectives obtained an arrest warrant for 49-year-old Richard King of Boaz, KY. It was also learned during the investigation that King had fled the area and was likely fleeing south. Minutes after the arrest warrant was entered into NCIC, Tennessee Highway Patrol confirmed that they had King in custody in the Nashville, TN area.
