A Florida woman is arrested after dousing her roommate in nail polish remover and lighting him on fire.

Melissa Dawn Sellers, 33, and Carlos Ortiz Jr., 42 were arguing after Ortiz threw away Sellers’s spaghetti and meatballs.

Police say the two had been drinking before the fight occurred around 2:30am Wednesday morning.

A witness, Ines Causevic, told Bay News 9 that, “She was setting little objects on fire, then that turned into pouring nail polish remover all over him, and then all of a sudden, the lighter sparked and he lit on fire.”

Causevic said that Sellers tried to put out the fire by throwing water and tearing Ortiz’s shirt off.

“When he got up, his face was like melting off,” Causevic told the TV station.

Ortiz suffered burns to his face, chest, and shoulders and was rushed to a Tampa hospital where he was listed in critical condition.

Sellers left the scene before police arrived, but returned later and was charged with aggravated battery.
