LACOOCHEE — A Pasco County man is accused of setting a woman's RV on fire early Sunday morning, saying she was "a people eater" and "hater."

Wayne Phillips, 21, who deputies believe to be homeless, faces felony charges of first-degree arson and attempted murder after he set the doorway of an RV ablaze at about 2:30 a.m. on 39214 Cox Road, shortly after the resident returned home, according to the arrest report.

Phillips told police that he set the RV on fire because he wanted to kill the victim out of anger, authorities said. He also told police the victim was "a hater, and a people eater like the rest of them."

Authorities said Phillips had been plotting the fire for days. Days before, Phillips poured gasoline on the floor of the RV, in the same area he later set on fire, deputies said.

To escape, the victim climbed out of the back window of the burning RV. The victim had first and second degree burns and bruises, as well as hip and back pain from falling to the ground.

Phillips was arrested hours later in the 21000 block of Market Street, around the corner from the incident.

According to authorities, the RV was completely destroyed. The fire also spread to the wood frame of a house next door.

Phillips is being held at the Land O'Lakes Detention Center in lieu of $50,000 bail.
