ROSEBORO, N.C. (AP) — A suspect was arrested Monday after a North Carolina woman with serious burns told authorities a man had doused her with gasoline at her home and set her on fire, authorities said.
The suspect was located in a wooded area behind a residence and was taken into custody without incident, the Sampson County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement. The man was served with warrants on several charges including attempted murder and first-degree arson, the statement said.
Firefighters and deputies were called to a structure fire Saturday night in the town of Roseboro and found a woman with burns over about two-thirds of her body, the sheriff’s office said in a previous statement.
The woman said a man had forced his way into her home, and that the suspect left the scene on a bicycle, according to the sheriff’s statement. The woman was taken to a trauma center for treatment. Her condition wasn’t disclosed.
Roseboro is a small community about 65 miles (105 kilometers) south of the state capital of Raleigh.
