MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Memphis Police say they arrested a man for reportedly setting fire to the doors of two apartments, one of which had children inside.
On June 3, police were called to Soulsville to help a person who was armed. The person who was hurt told the police that Andrew Hence had set fire to the door to his flat.
