The Hillsboro Police Department was called to Hillsboro High School Oct. 31 to investigate a toilet paper fire.

Investigation shows that a 16-year-old female allegedly "lit a roll of toilet paper on fire in the second floor girls' restroom," the HPD said.

The fire was quickly extinguished by a school employee.

"The only visible damage was to the original roll of toilet paper and an adjoining roll," the HPD said. "(Neither) the (toilet paper) holder nor any part of the structure showed signs of damage."

The case will be sent to the Highland County Prosecutor's Office for review as a possible arson case.
