A student of Nebraska Weslyan University and brother of Phi Kappa Tau who has been charged with arson and connection in a fatal November fire is said to have been playing with fire earlier in the evening.

Brandon Lovegrove, a Phi Tau brother, and two other men were arrested Friday for the arson where court documents showed Lovegrove was seen by another fraternity brother lighting a calender on fire and throwing it down a hallway in their chapter house. One student was killed in the deadly fire that destroyed part of the house.

The three men were jailed last week on suspicion of attempted first-degree arson, hazing, illegal possession of fireworks and unlawful throwing of fireworks, a report said.
