DA: Jury convicts man who tried to use Cheetos to set fire
TAUNTON, Mass. (AP) — A Taunton man who authorities say attempted to use Cheetos to accelerate a fire at his ex-girlfriend's home while she was still inside has been convicted of malicious destruction of property.
The Bristol County District Attorney's Office says a jury convicted 31-year-old Shemroy Williams on Wednesday. He was sentenced to two-and-a-half years behind bars.
Crews responded to a home in March after the woman and her friend reported that Williams was trying to light it on fire.
Authorities say an investigation revealed Williams wedged a propane tank against the house while a fire on the back porch was burning.
