A man violating a restraining order set his RV on fire before witnesses say he was tackled and arrested by police. The incident occurred near Southeast 37th and Mill Street Wednesday afternoon and was caught on video, which shows fast-moving flames and thick black smoke. Kat West, a neighbor, says the incident occurred in front of her house. “You could feel the heat … that’s when the windows exploded out of the RV,” West said. “It’s been in the neighborhood off and on for about the last year.” West said at one point, the RV after it was parked in front of her house Wednesday was surrounded by police. “About three officers in patrol cars showed up, blocked it in … there was a little bit of a standoff,” West said.
