Several Arlington residents were forced out of their homes overnight Saturday due to a suspicious device in the neighborhood.
At about 11:30 p.m Saturday, police and firefighters were called to a home on the 400 block of Quail Roost Lane, near Harris Lane and Matlock Road about a block from Seguin High School.
Police said Sunday morning that a man spotted a fire in his driveway and his neighbor running away toward his own home two doors down.
Firefighters arrived and determined the fire was ignited by a fuse stuffed into a fuel can, loaded with gasoline and bullets.
