A man in New Jersey was arrested after a dispute with his girlfriend allegedly led to him setting her family’s home on fire.

Just before 3:00 AM on September 3, a 50-year-old man went to the house where his girlfriend lives with her family. Her mother and father, who own the home, were there when he arrived.

According to reports, while the couple was talking, they had a disagreement, and someone else in the home overheard the conflict. They decided that they would ask the man to leave, but he reportedly refused. The family called the police, who had already come to their house a few hours earlier because of a noise complaint and asked for their help with making the man go.

A man who has been accused of driving while under the influence of alcohol allegedly caused an accident on Sunday and was reportedly seen walking back to his burning vehicle to light a cigarette off of the flames.

The alleged driver of the car, 25-year-old Robert Quigley, was traveling on Interstate 80 with a woman in the passenger seat when his vehicle, which is suspected of traveling at a speed of nearly 80 mph, crashed into the back of an SUV that was at a standstill in traffic. Following the collision, Quigley’s car ignited from what was suspected as a possible breach in the fuel line.

A nearby Citrus Heights Police officer reported that he noticed the accident when Quigley’s car caught fire, and when he headed toward the scene to assist he believed that Quigley changed seats with his passenger so that it would appear as if she was the driver.
