FORT BEND, Texas — Two improvised explosives were thrown at the property of a Fort Bend County Sheriff’s Office sergeant this week, according to law-enforcement officials.

“This is a dangerous game people are playing,” Fort Bend Sheriff Troy Nehls said. “Its scary. It’s sad and we’re on top of this investigation.”

On Monday night, the sergeant, who has not been publicly identified, awoke to part of his house on fire. An investigation determined a molotov cocktail was thrown at the front window of the home. No one was injured, he said.
