They say officers responded to multiple calls about a man who was reported to be walking around pouring fuel on vehicles and setting them on fire.

In one instance, people with fire extinguishers rushed to aid a driver after liquid was poured on the hood of a vehicle from a jerry can and ignited.

The suspect was arrested after he was chased and tackled by another man inside a coffee shop.

Malice Sutton has been charged with 11 counts of arson causing damage, three counts of arson with disregard for human life, four counts of possessing incendiary material and one count of assault with a weapon.
