A man suspected of starting a fire in Greenwood Village on Saturday is facing multiple charges, including attempted murder of a peace officer.
Firefighters were called to an apartment fire on East Prentice Avenue, near Belleview Avenue and DTC Boulevard just before 4 p.m.
The apartment complex was evacuated, and officers were notified that one person was unaccounted for.
That person was later identified as Addison Christensen, 22. Officers located him about a block away from the apartment fire attempting to start a bush on fire.
He was taken into custody after a short chase on foot, police said.
Christensen is being held without bond at the Arapahoe County Detention Center for attempted murder of a peace officer, first-degree arson and possession of a weapon by a previous offender.
He's expected to appear in court on Tuesday at 9:30 a.m.
No one was injured in the fire.
