Pine Bluff - The person who tried to burn a probation office in Pine Bluff may want to show up for his or her next visit anyway.
An alarm went off at about 4 a.m. Tuesday at the office in the Jefferson Square Shopping Center. A police officer found a small fire on the carpet inside of the front door.
The officer was able to use a fire extinguisher to put out the fire through a crack under the door. The area smelled like gasoline and there was a broken bottle on the ground.
Damage was estimated at $100 dollars. The fire didn't spread beyond the patch of carpet.
Authorities are conducting an arson investigation.
