Shortly before, deputies with the Thurston County Sheriff's Office arrived for a court-ordered eviction. They said the tenant received multiple notices of the eviction prior to the law enforcement response.
The sheriff's office said the tenant was uncooperative and refused to leave the residence, though he later released his dog to Animal Services.
Soon after, a fire broke out inside the unit the evicted tenant resided in, while the other unit of the duplex was still occupied.
Deputies used verbal commands and the tenant eventually exited the residence, armed with a hatchet, according to the sheriff's office.
The man allegedly tried to run away once deputies used less-lethal tools to disarm him, and he was taken into custody after being tased.
What's next:
The suspect is expected to be booked into the Thurston County Jail for first-degree arson and first-degree malicious mischief.
