Do not forget the other possibilities.

Was the flag nylon or cotton? A nylon flag is made from petroleum. Lots of black smoke. Either way this is a violation of the Clean Air Act. If he is in a nonatainment area the fines could be bigger.

Did he use gasoline? Clean Air Act too. Also Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) for disposal of a hazardous waste, the part he spilled on the ground. Not to mention the local fire code which probably prohibits pouring petroleum product on the ground.

Where did he burn it? Assuming he burned it on public property (street or park) did he leave a scorch mark or spill gas on the ground? Under Tennessee Law this could be considered vandalism, specifically Environmental Vandalism.

Use their own pet laws against them.It's more fun.
