ELKHART COUNTY, Ind. (WNDU) - A second arrest has been made in connection to the string of barn fires in Elkhart County.
Joseph Hershberger, 41, of Nappanee was charged with arson Tuesday. And now, his 32-year-old girlfriend Sherry Thomas, also of Nappanee, is in custody as well.
Hershberger is facing eight counts of arson for all eight barn fires we’ve told you about extensively in Elkhart County dating back to April (links to stories at the bottom). He also faces one count of contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
As for Thomas, she faces one count of arson, and one count of attempted contributing to a delinquency of a minor.
Court papers show that investigators we’re able to track a phone that had been in the area of the barn fires just prior to each one being set off. Investigators later learned that phone belonged to Thomas, placing her phone at every barn fire, except one.

I am sure that these guys burned old barns for a reason, and I doubt it has to do with their antique business.
Either the drug business or the psychosis of the drug business.
Either way she will cop to a lesser charge, and toss him to the state pen.
Probably made meth and were burning the evidence. Don’t assume everyone is that stupid.
These two look like a living definition of “stupid”. What, they had nothing better to do than burn old barns? A lot of people like old barns and love using wood salvaged from them as decorative elements in their homes.
Were any animals burned to death?
An eye for an eye.
Investigators we’re able to track a phone that had been in the area.
When you enter the crime arena you better be ahead of the game.
