No structures were damaged in the fires set Wednesday morning.

Police say they found the suspect, later identified as 23-year-old Robert James Henry, hiding near a warehouse as firefighters were working to extinguish the flames.   Henry tried to run, but police say they were able to catch him. 

Henry was booked into the Oklahoma County Jail on arson and public intoxication charges. Investigators are interviewing him to see if he is responsible for last week's fires.
