Suspect arrested in Houston Islamic center fire

Houston arson investigators have made an arrest in the early morning fire Friday at an Islamic center on the city's southeast side, fire department officials said late Monday.

Darryl Ferguson, 55, of Houston, has been charged with felony first degree arson for the fire, according to HFD investigators.

The arrest was announced at a 6 p.m. news conference at HFD's arson headquarters.

Investigators say the suspect "rolled up on his bicycle" to speak to them about the fire during an on-scene investigation Monday.
