Man Accused of Trying to Start Longview Fire

LONGVIEW – Longview authorities have arrested a man they accuse of trying to set his brother’s house on fire. Arrested Tuesday was Kevin Darden, 31, of New York City. Longview Fire Marshal Johnny Zackary said Darden was staying with his brother at his home in the 500 block of Oak Street. When the homeowner returned home Tuesday, he said Darden was pouring “an ignitable substance” inside the house. Authorities are also looking into whether Darden could be linked to an early Monday morning blaze in the 500 block of Church Street, which destroyed a small home.
