I personally would never mess with this woman’s food.
Clearwater police have arrested a woman they say doused her roommate with nail polish remover and set him on fire.
Around 2:30 a.m., 33-year-old Melissa Dawn Sellers got into an argument with 42-year-old Carlos Ortiz Jr. at a home on the 300 block of Gunn Avenue.
According to Ortiz’s friend and witness, Ines Causevic, Sellers was angry at Ortiz because he had thrown out her spaghetti and meatballs.
“She was setting little objects on fire, then that turned into pouring nail polish remover all over him, and then all of a sudden, the lighter sparked and he lit on fire,” said Causevic.
Causevic said she threw water on Ortiz and tore his shirt off, trying to put out the fire.
“When he got up, his face was like melting off, it was pink and sore,” said Causevic. “His lips were burning.”
Ortiz is in the hospital listed in critical condition and Sellers has been charged with assault.
