Deputy Blackburn and Deputy John Petit then took both suspects into custody.
Deputies attempted to extinguish the fire, but were unsuccessful. Marion County Fire Rescue arrived a short time later.
While in the back seat of a patrol car, Ravey, who had refused to identify himself, attempted to kick the rear window out. He was then placed in hobble restraints.
