Teenage tipsters will get reward

Two teens will receive $750 each today for tipping fire investigators to a text message that helped arrest five people, including a man now accused of murdering his pregnant girlfriend, for an arson at a Spokane Valley elementary school last June. The fire at Adams Elementary School, 14707 E. Eighth Ave., caused $1,500 in damage. Robbie W. Bishop, 20, is charged with second-degree arson; four girls also were arrested. Two teens will receive the money from the NW Insurance Council and Arson Alarm Foundation, according to the Spokane Valley Fire Department. Adams Principal Jeff Dufresne will collect the awards on their behalf at a ceremony today at 9:30 a.m. Bishop remains in jail on the arson charge as well as two counts of second-degree murder for the July 22, 2009, stabbing death of 33-year-old Robin M. Anderson, who was pregnant with Bishop’s child.
