WASHINGTON, Okla. (KFOR) – A neighbor’s security camera captured the moment someone doused a McClain County Sheriff’s Deputy’s vehicles with gasoline and lit them on fire, igniting the deputy’s home.

The flames went up fast, nearly setting the person on fire.

“There was a suspect that covered some vehicles with gas and then set the gas on fire of my deputies, and then that got to the house,” said Sheriff Landy Offolter, Mcclain County.

The suspect is 28-year-old Austin Garrett Reeves. The sheriff’s office said Reeves was reportedly supposed to be in custody after being arrested for burglarizing the same deputy’s home the day before the fire.

“I’m kind of concerned about it. Not too happy,” said Sheriff Offolter.

Sheriff Offolter said Reeves was turned over to Lighthorse Police Department because he was a tribal member, but was later released.

“I’m trying to find out why, but the prosecutor for the Lighthorse declined to file charges on him for the burglary,” said Sheriff Offolter.

The sheriff’s office said Reeves had reportedly been targeting law enforcement for weeks leading up to Saturday’s incident.

“Mainly just breaking into the cars or maybe a storage shed,” said Sheriff Offolter. “We know of two others here in the county so far. We recovered, where we made the arrest today, we recovered some property of one of the officers today.”

Reeves was arrested in Norman after a brief standoff.

News 4 is working on finding out what other law enforcement were targeted prior to the fire.

We reached out to the Lighthorse Police Department to find out why Reeves was released after being arrested for the burglary, but we have not heard back yet.

News 4 confirmed Sunday that Reeves is currently in custody at the Grady County Jail.
