A 26-year-old Ypsilanti Township man was arrested Saturday on charges of aggravated assault and arson after allegedly attempting to set a residence on fire on the 8800 block of MacArthur Boulevard in Superior Township.

Washtenaw County Sheriff Office deputies responded to the report of an assault at the residence at about 10 p.m. According to the WCSO, the suspect, highly intoxicated, entered the residence looking for someone who was not home.

He then ransacked the upstairs and poured bleach throughout the residence, attempting to start it on fire. While the victim tried to stop him, she was assaulted, according to the WCSO.

The man fled the location, but was arrested after going to St. Joseph Hospital with additional injuries not sustained during the incident, the WCSO said. The hospital reported the suspect also assaulted medical personnel while receiving treatment for his non-life-threatening injuries.

The arson and assault suspect was lodged at Washtenaw County Jail after the arrest and will be arraigned today.

Truck stolen from parking lot
The owner of a 1997 Ford F250 told WCSO deputies Sunday afternoon that the truck was stolen from a parking lot on the 2300 block of Ellsworth Road in Ypsilanti sometime Sunday morning.

According to the WCSO, the front driver's side window was smashed to gain entry. The truck has a tonneau cover, a light bar on top, and the front license plate reads “Steel Steed.” No suspects have been identified, the WCSO said.

Citizen orders man to the ground
According to Ypsilanti Police, a private citizen dressed in black fatigues with patches walking a German shepherd with a “K9 Unit” emblem harness ordered another man to the ground early Saturday morning near the intersection of Perrin and Emmet Streets in Ypsilanti.

Originally reported as a man with a gun and dog holding someone down, the incident apparently stemmed from the one man threatening a group, saying he would come back and shoot up their house. At that point, the man in fatigues ordered the other man to the ground.

Some residents questioned this order, police reported, a scuffle ensued and the man making the threats left the area. No injuries were reported, and police said they advised the resident about taking police actions in certain situations.
