A FREEPORT, MASSACHUSETTS, MAN THOUGHT IT WOULD BE a good idea Sunday to burn down his own house. So he took a portable propane torch and set the house afire.
His wife did not think that was a good idea, though, and put the fire out with a fire extinguisher. This seemed to enrage Richard Ramsey, 49, who then fired up the torch again and chased his wife and some other family members back into the house with the blue flame. That, in turn, enraged his family members who then called the police. The officers soon got everybody rounded up and arrested Ramsey, charging him with arson and assault with a dangerous weapon.
WPRI-TV Providence carried the story in this video report:
