Landlord accused of setting married couple on fire in Miss.

Marshall County Sheriff Kenny Dickerson says deputies have arrested a landlord who is accused of setting two of his tenants on fire.

Dickerson says James Dozier, 57, leased a house near Byhalia to Tommy and Benita Bonds, and Dozier confronted the couple with a gun about 10 p.m. Saturday.

Dickerson says Dozier doused them with lighter fluid and set them on fire. Both were taken to the Regional Medical Center in Memphis, Tennessee, where Benita Bonds, 42, remains listed in critical condition.

Her husband was discharged.

According to the incident report, Dozier started yelling "I'm sorry, I'm sorry" after setting the couple on fire. Deputies said Dozier also yelled "my life is over, I didn't mean it, I might as well kill myself."

Deputies arrested Dozier on Sunday after finding him hiding in a bedroom closet at his home. Investigators said there was lighter fluid and a Zippo lighter in the closet. He is being held under a $1 million bond on two charges of aggravated assault.

Dickerson says Monday that Dozier has not told investigators what prompted the attack.
