Arsonist Sets Fires In Houston For Fun

ABC13— A 43-year-old man, Jody Curvey, admitted to starting between 20 and 30 fires around businesses in west Houston, telling authorities he did it because he was bored and wanted to keep warm. Investigators say the fires began in December at several locations near West Oaks Mall, where Curvey was eventually caught after allegedly using a lighter to ignite tree branches at the partly vacant mall and placing the burning limbs on a staircase that blocked an emergency exit. When a security guard confronted him, police say he even tried to intensify the fire by fanning the flames with a sweater. Prosecutors also accuse him of setting multiple fires at a nearby strip mall on Westheimer, including one where cardboard boxes outside an Academy store were burned. Curvey was arrested and given a $75,000 bond, and a judge ordered that if he is released, he must stay away from anything combustible.

FWB PD Arrest Drug Trafficker On Sunday

City of Fort Walton Beach— A man was arrested Sunday in Fort Walton Beach after allegedly fleeing from police and being found with several types of narcotics. Police say an officer tried to stop a black pickup truck driven by Lekendrick Ingram on Holmes Boulevard NW, but the driver briefly pulled into a driveway before speeding through a yard, continuing onto Robinwood Drive SW, and damaging a cement mailbox while driving across another property. The vehicle was later found parked on Leila Place NW, where Ingram allegedly ran on foot and jumped a fence before officers surrounded the area and located him hiding in a backyard. Near the spot where he fled, officers discovered a modified Raid pesticide can with a hidden compartment containing suspected drugs.

Today's Holidays

Celebrate the weird stuff. We do.

Holiday #1 of 4

International Day of Awesomeness

International Day of Awesomeness is that annual group project where everybody pretends confidence is a renewable resource and “awesome” isn’t just a word we slap on mediocre tacos and slightly-above-average coworkers. You’re supposed to celebrate by doing something bold, or at least posting like you did, because nothing says personal growth like a filtered photo and a caption that sounds like a fortune cookie with a gym membership. The whole thing is gloriously ridiculous, and that’s the point: one day a year we agree to act like our lives are a highlight reel instead of a surveillance tape. Don’t worry, we’ll get into what qualifies as “awesome” around here, and why most of you are about to file an appeal.
