Man Charged With Setting Another On Fire

SHARPSBURG, Md. (AP) ― Fire officials say a man accused of setting another on fire has been charged with first- and second-degree assault.

Clayton Muller of Sharpsburg was released Friday after posting $15,000 bond.

According to the fire marshal's office, the incident occurred March 15 at Muller's home.

Muller, 19, is accused of spraying lighter fluid on a fireplace and trailing it onto another man's upper body.

The victim became engulfed in flames; a witness helped put the fire out.

Authorities say the victim suffered second-degree burns to his arm, chest and face.
