Nick Spicer
Special agents from the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation have obtained indictments for a Hohenwald man accused of setting fire to his restaurant in an effort to commit insurance fraud.
Shortly after the fire at Nick and Bubba’s Beer, Butts and Clucks on July 24, TBI agents joined the investigation at the scene along Dabbs Avenue in Hohenwald. During the course of the investigation, with the cooperation of the Hohenwald Fire Department and Tennessee Department of Commerce and Insurance, agents developed information that led to the restaurant’s owner, Nick Spicer, as the individual responsible for setting the fire.
On Monday, the Lewis County Grand Jury returned indictments, charging Spicer, 35, with one count of arson and one count of insurance fraud. Agents subsequently booked him into the Lewis County Jail, from which he was released after posting $20,000 bond.
