Chicago Man Sets Family Home on Fire After Thanksgiving Argument, Police Say A 21-year-old Chicago man, Erik J. Crump, is accused of intentionally setting his family’s Beach Park home on fire after a Thanksgiving argument spiraled out of control. Police initially responded to the home Thursday night, where Crump was arguing and “antagonizing” relatives. Officers calmed the situation, and he agreed to stay to himself. But after being told he was getting kicked out, Crump allegedly returned to his bedroom and set the fire before fleeing the house. Family members saw smoke and evacuated. Firefighters later spotted a man matching Crump’s description holding a knife nearby, sparking a manhunt. Police tracked him to a storage facility where he was arrested and charged with aggravated and residential arson. Authorities say it’s a blessing no one was hurt. #Chicago #IllinoisNews #Thanksgiving #Arson #BreakingNews #CrimeUpdate #LakeCounty #ChaunceyDatGuy
