LOS GATOS — A Los Gatos man has been arrested on suspicion of arson and drug possession after a hash-oil explosion set his home on fire in January, police said.

Kerry Reeves, 64, was at his home on the 100 block of Hillbrook Drive on Jan. 11 when an explosion set the rear of the residence on fire, according to Lt. Clinton Tada with the Los Gatos/ Monte Sereno Police Department. Reeves had set up a butane hash oil extraction lab in the home, Tada added.

Reeves and several other residents inside the home were treated for burn injuries at an area hospital. An investigation by fire officials revealed that Reeves was responsible for starting the fire, Tada said.

Police arrested Reeves without incident on Sunday. He was been booked into Santa Clara County Jail on suspicion of manufacturing illegal drugs, unlawfully causing a fire, and possession of a controlled substance.
