PEORIA, Ill. – A Peoria man is jailed after apparently having a gun in his possession and trying to light items inside a home on fire.
Police say they were called around 6:30 Wednesday night to a home on North Delaware.
Several juveniles and adults were evacuated from the home in question while police tried to get Da Rian Bush, 29, out. He allegedly tried to resist both police and firefighters, but eventually was detained.
A loaded and defaced semi-automatic handgun and two open cans of lighter fluid allegedly were found.
Bush is charged with Attempted Arson and Possession of a Firearm with a Defaced Identification.
Another weapons charge and a resisting arrest charge were not filed by the State’s Attorney, according to Peoria County Jail records, but Bush remains jailed on $30,000 bond.
