A man is in custody after an hours-long situation in Tigard overnight Sunday where the Washington County Sheriff’s Office said he lit several fires after barricading himself inside of a home.
The incident started around 10:49 p.m. Sunday with a report of a domestic disturbance at the Eldorado Mobile Villas along Southwest Eldorado Drive.
Arriving deputies said the other family members made it out safely, but 37-year-old Jaime Lopez had barricaded himself inside a home, refusing to come out.
Lopez began setting several fires, the sheriffโs office said, and Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue (TVF&R) was called to put out the flames.
He continued to light fires inside the home, which eventually burned him, the sheriff’s office said.
