Officials said Everett threatened to burn down his father-in-law's home and used a sweatshirt, on which he poured ignitable fluid, to start the fire at the front door of the residence, while both his father-in-law and wife were inside. Everett left the residence, drove to his mother-in-law's home and started a second fire outside her home, officials said.
Houston police officers arrested Everett at the second scene.
