Arson Investigation

On November 3, 2013, at approximately 12:58 PM, Davis Police Officers were called to 642 Adams St. (Phi Kappa Phi Fraternity) for an arson that occurred overnight.

It was reported that at approximately 01:00 AM, residents detected a strong smell of natural gas inside the house. Upon further examination, they discovered a deliberately set gas leak.
