Arkansas Woman Accused of Setting Boyfriend on Fire

(Springdale, Arkansas) A 23-year-old local woman, Falisha Hutcherson, has been accused of setting her boyfriend Donnie Frazier on fire.

Frazier, 29, is being treated in the burn unit at St. John's Hospital in Springfield.

Hutcherson faces charges of attempted murder and arson.

Frazier's mother, Sharlene Batson, told deputies that Frazier and Hutcherson began arguing between 6 and 7 p.m. on Friday. Frazier told deputies he locked Hutcherson out of a building near his house, but she called him and said she would burn down the building if he did not unlock the door. He told deputies that he heard dogs barking outside and went out to check on them.

When he went outside, he said Hutcherson had "poured Coleman fuel into a cup of some type," deputies said. Frazier told police that it was "similar to a Malatav (sic) cocktail but without the cloth hanging out. He said she lit it solely on fumes."

Hutcherson was booked into custody at the Washington County Jail. A bond amount wasn't reported.
