Wife sets husband on fire for molesting 7-year-old daughter

http://wtvr.com/2014/08/07/wife-sets-husband-on-fire/ RENTON, Wash. – The video shows a man running into a Washington state convenience store screaming “I’m on fire!” and “Help me!” The video was recorded minutes after Vincent Phillips’ wife dosed him with gasoline and set him on fire while he slept, according to a report on KOMONews.com . She told police she set Philips, 52, on fire because he hurt her seven-year-old daughter. The child is his step daughter. Police recommended Philips be charged with first-degree child molestation once he recovers from the July 17 incident. Phillips suffered severe burns. When asked why she did it, his wife said shooting him “was too nice.” His wife, 40-year-old Tatanysha Hedman, was jailed on assault and arson charges.

TRIAL: Bull Shoals Police Chief Daniel Sutterfield

UPDATED :  BULL SHOALS — An Arkansas police chief has agreed to resign and never serve in law enforcement again in exchange for federal prosecutors dropping a charge against him. The Baxter Bulletin  reported that Bull Shoals Police Chief Daniel Sutterfield took the deal Monday. Federal prosecutors have dropped an excessive force charge stemming from a July 2013 arrest. A federal jury in Harrison  found Sutterfield innocent of conspiracy and filing a false report in July. The jury was deadlocked on the excessive force charge. A retrial had been set for August in Fayetteville. He faced up to 10 years in prison. The prosecutors can initiate the criminal case against Sutterfield if the conditions of the agreement aren't met.
