"<p><strong>FORT MYERS, Fla.</strong> - Lee County Deputies arrested a homeless man after he started several fires in the woods, less than 50 feet from a home on Teakwood St.</p> <p>“It was just roasting; everything’s gone,” Jacob Rogers, a witness, said.<br /><br />Rogers said he’s seen the man hanging around his street before.<br /><br />“He’s homeless so he stays up by the McDonald’s area,\" Rogers said. \"Honestly, I have no idea why he would [start fires]. There’s no explanation for it.\"<br /><br />Deputies saw Steven Maxey in the woods lighting the fires. When he saw them, he ran.</p> <p>Deputies tased him but it had no effect. Maxey ripped them off and kept running.</p> <p>The deputy caught up and tackled the suspect to the ground, but he kept fighting. The deputy punched Maxey on the right side of his face several times before getting him into handcuffs.<br /><br />“Sometimes he likes to get mad at people and then go off on them,” said Samuel Martinez, a Fort Myers resident.<br /><br />This was Maxey’s seventh arrest in Lee County. He’s being charged with malicious burning of land and resisting arrest.<br /><br />“Stupid, you can’t fix stupid,” Rogers said.</p> <hr /> <p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em><strong>TOP STORY: </strong></em></span><span class=\"mml-element\" data-mml-type=\"relatedstorylink\" data-mml-uri=\"https://nbc-2.com/story/40066661/naples-teacher-and-soccer-coach-arrested-for-molesting-students\"><a class=\"mml-element-story-link\" contenteditable=\"false\" href=\"//www.nbc-2.com/story/40066661/naples-teacher-and-soccer-coach-arrested-for-molesting-students\">Naples teacher and soccer coach arrested for molesting students</a></span> <span id=\"breakId_SPECIAL_1551764155074_WILL_RENDER_HTML_\"></span></p> <hr /> <p><em>© Copyright 2019 WBBH/WZVN (Waterman Broadcasting).
