LINCOLN, Neb. -- Authorities have arrested a man they believe intentionally set an abandoned home on fire in Raymond last month. 

The Lancaster County Sheriff's Office said in August, deputies were called to a fire near northwest 40th St. and Raymond Rd., at an abandoned home. 

The State Fire Marshal's Office investigated the incident and found the fire to be arson. 

Tuesday night, deputies were called to the same area for a disturbance between two men. 

Deputies said a witness called authorities after seeing a man outside the burned home. 

The witness explained that the man matched the description of the suspect from the night of the fire. 

The 24-year-old was interviewed, cited and lodged for second-degree arson.
