Dumb Criminals: Florida (Obviously) Man Burns House Down After Niece Refuses To Go On Beer Run
After being spurned by his niece for a ride to the liquor store, a Boynton Beach man decided he should burn something: his house, according to authorities.
Inspectors from the Division of the State Fire Marshal said Jerome Clemons, 44, did just that. He was arrested Wednesday.
On Dec. 14, Clemons — who had already been drinking — asked his niece for a ride to the liquor store, according to a report from the agency. She told investigators she told him "No" and they got into an argument. To avoid further confrontation, the woman said she left the house.
Not long afterward, Clemons' brother arrived at the house. He told investigators Clemons was standing out on the porch mumbling to himself about being "tired of it all," according to the report.
His brother started making dinner and went out to see if Clemons was OK. Then, he saw a huge flame burning at the northeast corner of the house.
