Two Washington State University students have been arrested in connection with a series of small arson fires that were set on the Pullman campus early Monday morning.

Starting at 1 a.m., public safety officers from Pullman and WSU responded to four fires in and around the Stephenson Complex, one at the Fine Arts structure and one outside near College Avenue. Most of the fires caused no significant damage; however a section of the wall in the Stephenson lobby was charred. That fire set off fire alarms and forced the evacuation of Stephenson Hall. All fires were put out quickly and there were no reported injuries.

Pullman police arrested 21-year-old David Miner for obstructing officers as he was leaving the area of the fires. WSU Police later arrested him and 18-year old Ian Copland in connection with the fires.

Authorities say both would be charged with five counts of arson in the first degree and four counts of reckless burning in the second degree. They are expected to be arraigned later Monday or Tuesday in Colfax.
