Two men in the central Indiana city of Fishers were arrested on arson charges for allegedly burning a large American flag.

Christopher Graham and George Drake, both 18, were charged with felony arson and a misdemeanor count of flag desecration. Police said the two entered the Nickel Plate District Amphitheater around midnight on Independence Day and set the flag, hanging behind the stage, ablaze, partially burning it.
