Residents began being allowed to return to their homes in the early afternoon of Sunday.
Mr Spinks is due to appear in court on Monday.

Three homes were initially evacuated before residents from a further 32 properties were told to leave.
A rest centre was established at Queens Park Leisure Centre for residents.
