A Saugus man is in custody for attempting to set his house on fire. 29-year old Jeff Stauffer doused his garage, car and lawn with gasoline shortly after 11 p.m. Monday while under the influence of alcohol, and threatened to burn down the home.

Sheriff’s deputies were able to remove his wife and two children from the Wellston Drive house safely and Stauffer was arrested without incident.
