A Florida man reportedly gifted his girlfriend flowers and chocolates, only to allegedly set fire to the home they shared the next day.

William Clements Jr., 73, is being held without bond at the Brevard County Jail after police allege he tried to kill his girlfriend by setting fire to her house while she took a nap. According to an arrest affidavit, the woman, who was not identified for her safety, was taking a nap on the afternoon of April 4 when she awoke to the smell of gasoline and the sight of flames underneath her bedroom door. The fire outside her room trapped her inside as she waited for help to arrive.

Meanwhile, neighbors told police that they saw Clements around the same time, leaving the area on foot “in a hurry.”
