Man Sets Own House On Fire Because Ex-Wife Is Dating Firefighter!
Due To Length Of Article We’ve Decided To Repost:
Police say vengeance for a past relationship drove a Republic man to light his own home on fire, grab a rifle, stand outside and wait.
The target? Allegedly a Republic firefighter.
Police say Jason Hawkins, 35, had once been married to a woman who was then dating a firefighter.
“My business is with (the firefighter),” Hawkins allegedly told police.
According to court documents used to charge Hawkins with two felonies and a misdemeanor — arson, unlawful use of a weapon and resisting arrest — Hawkins admitted to setting the fire himself.
He allegedly said he filled a “spray bottle with gas and oil” to douse his home on West Mill Street with accelerant on July 7.
However, the mixture was too thick to spritz, court documents say, so Hawkins unscrewed the top, poured the mixture on the floor and lit it.
When authorities responded to the home, which was fully engulfed in flames, Hawkins initially ignored the commands of officers to drop his rifle, according to court documents.
He eventually threw the rifle on the ground, documents say, and struggled with officers who tried to arrest him.
At one point, Hawkins allegedly grabbed for a gun in an officer’s holster.
Hawkins does not have an attorney listed in online court records.
He has been held in the Greene County Jail since his arrest on July 7, according to the jail roster. Charges were refiled against him this week.
