An Avondale woman has been arrested for allegedly trying to set her live-in boyfriend on fire.
Kathy Elizabeth Jones, 46, faces charges of aggravated assault and criminal damage.
Police say that on Dec. 11, Jones sprayed lighter fluid on the victim and threw lighted matches on him. The police report states that she also damaged the front door by slamming it as hard as she could and "attempted to break down the door"... "after [the victim] locked her out to await police arrival."
When officers got there, they noted in the police report that Jones had "bloodshot, watery eyes." But she told them that her eyes were irritated by the lighter fluid. She also told police she had consumed two Smirnoff Ice drinks and two mixed rum drinks, which she described as "strong," according to the police report.
Jones told police "she was upset with [the victim] because he would not celebrate with her after she got hired by Subway," according to the police report. The report also states "she does not remember anything else about the evening and does not know how she ended up locked out of the residence."
