BECKLEY, W.Va. (AP) - Authorities say a man accused of setting a woman on fire has been captured.
WVVA-TV reports that Beckley police took Dwayne Michael Lane into custody Sunday in connection with an incident earlier that day in which a woman was doused in gasoline and set on fire in a home.
The Register-Herald reports that Police Chief Lonnie D. Christian says the victim was flown to a Pittsburgh hospital with severe burns.
Christian would not identify the woman, but told the Register-Herald that police believed she was Lane's fiancee or girlfriend. There was no immediate report on her condition.
Lane was being held at Southern Regional Jail on a $1 million cash-only bond.
