'Get the ---- out of our community,' Police looking for arson suspect who left a note

An anonymous donor has offered a reward of $300 in an attempt to identify those responsible.

EGELSTON TOWNSHIP, Mich. - Detectives from the Muskegon County Sheriff's Office are asking for the public's help with an arson investigation.

The crime happened just before midnight on Saturday, Oct. 20, in Apple Carr Trailer Park on Macintosh Lane. The residents were able to escape and the fire was put out quickly. But the residence sustained significant damage.

At the scene, investigators recovered a homemade sign in the victim's yard with a threatening message. The sign reads, "Y'ALL THOUGHT THAT WE FORGOT ABOUT YOU AND YOUR CRAZY --- FAMILY?? YOU AND YOUR CRAZY --- SON HE'S ONE WEIRD MOTHER------ YOU WHITE TRASH MOTHER------ NEED TO GET THE ---- OUT OF OUR COMMUNITY ---- IT'LL JUST GET WORSE FOR Y'ALL."

The sign is made out of green construction paper with words printed from a computer glued on it. Police blacked out the profanities.
