GRANTS PASS, Ore. (AP) — A 60-year-old man who was evicted from his travel trailer by his landlord is accused of setting the trailer on fire, walking to the property owner’s porch and lying down.

Gordon Gustin of Rogue River faces charges of arson and reckless burning for the Thursday fire.

No one was injured, and no other structures burned, the Grants Pass Daily Courier reports (http://bit.ly/xku5ju ).

The trailer was fully engulfed in flames when three fire engines arrived. The trailers’ tires exploded, but propane tanks inside did not.
