Boy Sets Self on Fire in Alleged Gas Theft

Apr 12, 10:15 PM (ET)

GILLETTE, Wyo. (AP) - A teenage boy accidentally set himself on fire early Wednesday morning after allegedly trying to siphon gas from a firefighter's car.

Police first learned of the injury after a 17-year-old boy and a 16-year-old boy claimed that someone had thrown gasoline on the 17-year-old at the Common Cents service station and lit him on fire, said Lt. Rod Hauge.

The boy was taken to the hospital with second- and third-degree burns on his legs. Police were called to the hospital to investigate the incident and later learned that the 17-year-old spilled gas on his pants while siphoning gas. He then used a lighter to try to determine how wet his pants were and set himself of fire, Hague said.

Both boys have been ticketed with larceny, Hauge said.

Gas prices are pretty high but I would not go stealing gas and then check to see if I spilled anything on me with a lighter. Way2go. I don't think I would put my self in the hospital with burns for some gasoline. Now he has to pay even more for future medical bills than he saved from stealing gas. Not very bright
