Lincoln Police make an arrest in an arson investigation dating back to July 20th in the 2500 block of Theresa. Officers spoke with a woman who said she had been arguing with 28 year old Steven Hillman around 7:11 p.m. and he left the trailer house. Hillman apparently walked around the outside, reached through an open window and set the curtains on fire. Several people were inside the trailer and they were able to rip down the curtains and put the fire out. However, flames did scorch the side of the trailer. Hillman took off before police arrived.

On Monday, July 26th at 4:50 a.m., police located Hillman near South 17th Street and Sumner. They were called to investigate an assault where Hillman was the victim. Hillman was then cited for 1st degree arson, a felony.
