FORT WORTH, Texas -- Evacuated residents from 12 Grand Prairie homes are allowed to return Tuesday morning after a bomb search and the arrest of a suspect accused of trying to make a pipe bomb overnight.

Police say they found what appear to be bomb-related components in a house in the 1000 block of Small Street.

Authorities say they received a tip about 10 p.m. Monday, and arrested Rodney Lightfoot, 34, at the house. The suspect was wanted on outstanding warrants.

A woman and child were also evacuated from the home.

Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives agents were called in and a bomb squad began searching the house and surrounding area.
