Two Washington State University students arrested in connection with a string of small fires on the WSU campus early Monday morning have been released on their own recognizance.

David Miner, 21, of Tacoma, Washington and Ian Coplan, 18, of Aberdeen, Washington, were arrested in connection with the blazes, which did little damage but prompted the evacuation of one dormitory. No injuries were reported.

Miner and Coplan were taken into custody for suspicion of arson and reckless burning.  Both appeared in court for a bail hearing Monday in Colfax, Washington and were released. Prosecutors say neither suspect has a criminal history and they are not considered to be flight risks.

Copland is the son of Grays Harbor District Court Judge Thomas A. Copland.
