Dim Crims: Searing memory

Police in Portland, Oregon, allege that Harry Frederick Suniville stole a partially-filled gas can from a truck parked next to his car. While pouring the gas into his own vehicle -- while smoking a cigarette -- the gas exploded, burning his socks and pants, and singeing his eyebrows and hair. His car was also damaged and had to be towed. After being treated at the scene, Suniville was accused of second-degree criminal mischief, reckless burning and third-degree theft.    More here  [BJS]
