The irony here is this guy had to go get alcohol anyway, just not the kind he wanted . . .
Cops in North Carolina responded to a domestic dispute on Friday, after a guy threatened to light a woman on FIRE when she wouldn’t go grab him a beer.
It happened in Sylva, North Carolina, about 40 miles west of Asheville. Patrick Tyson was doing some day drinking, or MORNING drinking. It happened at 7:00 A.M.
It’s not clear if the woman was his girlfriend or what. But she told cops he threatened to light her on fire, then actually TRIED to do it. He grabbed a bottle of rubbing alcohol, poured it on the couch she was on, and lit it.
It burned the couch and set her shirt on fire, but luckily she wasn’t seriously hurt. Cops said the shirt “burned off her body, but she did not sustain physical injuries.” (???)
The fire department saved the house, but it’s got smoke damage. They said the carpet also burned.
Patrick is facing multiple charges, including first-degree arson and felony assault with a deadly weapon.
(Here’s his mugshot.)
