Lincoln Police cruiser. (Jeff Motz/KFOR News)LINCOLN–(KFOR Mar. 23)–What appears to be a bizarre circumstance has now landed a 24-year-old Lincoln man in jail, after he allegedly started a fire and later hit an officer last Thursday morning. On Monday, Lincoln Police public information manager E rika Thomas told reporters that LPD and Lincoln Fire and Rescue were called to a home near 10th and Benton last Thursday morning about a fire.  Callers indicated that Sang Huynh was pouring gasoline on some playground equipment in the backyard of his home, saying he was going to burn it down, before he lit it on fire.  He had left the backyard before police showed up. As investigators were handling the fire, officers later found Huynh walking near 27th and Superior and asked him to talk, but he walked away and into traffic.  Thomas says an officer followed Huynh, who then turned around and pulled out two drumsticks, before taking what she said “an aggressive stance” and then walking away.  Officers then told Huynh he was under arrest and he started to swing the drumsticks at them, hitting one and causing him to fall. Thomas says Huynh was ultimately arrested and put in the Lancaster County Jail for 3rd-degree assault on an officer, resisting arrest and violation of an open burn ban.   ...read more read less
