Bathroom burned in arson

There are no suspects or witnesses in the fire, according to a report, which valued the changing station at $200.

In other police reports:

* A complaint about suspicious people near Seminole Way led to the arrest of two men Sept. 21.

William JD Bilbrey, 26 of Reno, Nev., was arrested at about 6:53 a.m. in the 4600 block of Ithica Way for possession of burglary tools -- a bolt cutter -- in his car. He was also arrested for possession of methamphetamine, possession of a controlled substance, Vicodin, and possession of a switchblade, all of which were discovered in his backpack, and a violation of probation.

When police spotted the two men, they said they were headed to a friend's house but went to the wrong place. Tiexiera told police he was "sort of on probation"; a warrant check led to the arrest of Tiexiera and the discovery that Bilbrey was also on probation, which led to the search of his car and backpack.
