Cops say a man in South Carolina who discovered his wife was
allegedly having an affair is the real homewrecker after he
decided to get even by torching his home, which was uninhabited
at the time.
Antonio Meadows, 40, was arrested Friday afternoon and charged
with second-degree arson, according to jail records from the
Georgetown County Detention Center.
The Andrews Police Department told WCIV-TV the incident happened
around 11 a.m. on Friday when Meadows allegedly doused the
interior of his home with gas and then set it on fire.
Meadows told police he found text messages on his wife's phone
that led him to believe she was cheating on him, WCSC reported.
His wife and children were at a neighbor's home at the time of
the fire and were not injured during the incident, according to
police.
The 40-year-old suffered the lone injury in the incident,
reportedly burning his leg while setting fire to the home. He
was treated at a hospital after officers arrested him at his
grandmother's house less than an hour after the blaze, WCIV
reported.
The home was completely destroyed in the incident. Jail records
show the 40-year-old was released on $5,000 bond on Sunday.
