A 55-year-old man has been charged with attempted murder and arson for allegedly dousing his 37-year-old wife with flammable liquid and trying to set her on fire, authorities said.
The attack occurred Tuesday at the couple’s home. Police were alerted by the suspect’s mother-in-law, who lives in the same house, and called emergency services. The man remains in custody and is scheduled to appear before a judge on Friday.
During a search of the property, police seized a container of flammable liquid, firearms, bows, knives and small amounts of cannabis.
