Deputies with the Lauderdale County Sheriff’s Office arrested a man on Wednesday evening who was allegedly setting multiple structures on fire. Lauderdale County deputies, St. Florian Police Department officers and Killen Police Department officers responded to reports of a man setting fires to structures on County Road 8 in the Greenhill community on the evening of March 8.
Officials say the first officer on the scene encountered the suspect, now identified as Lambert, pouring gasoline on a house. Once the suspect was confronted by officers, he picked up a compound bow and arrow.
“He was given commands to stop and got the bow and arrow and he aimed it at one of the officers,” Lauderdale County Sheriff Jacob Leonard said.
