When a jealous Florida Man carries a figurative torch for his girlfriend, and a literal one for her Jaguar SE, you just KNOW you have a hot story on your hands.
FLORIDA MAN STRIKES AGAIN!
DATELINE – Miami-Dade County and the Saga of Florida Man Melvin Alain Cintron, arrested a few days ago for arson after he allegedly torched a car.
He was actually caught on camera lighting a Jaguar XE sedan on fire in front of a North Miami home.
Well, the woman who owned the car, she initially told the police that the car caught fire as she was driving home because she was afraid of what Cintron would do if she had told cops the truth.
Whenever she spoke to investigators about what happened to her car, Cintron always made her put the phone on speaker. Why were they together, you may ask? Well, as is always the case with Florida Man, there’s more to the story because this is his girlfriend whose car he torched, allegedly, of course.
When she was finally able to speak freely, she told officers she feared Cintron because he carries a fully automatic gun on him regularly.
She also told police that her alleged pyromaniac boyfriend stole her purse and left her without a way home the other night as well.
Oh, did we also tell you that not only are they boyfriend-girlfriend, but they’re cousins?
Cintron reportedly got jealous when he thought a bartender was flirting with his cousin-girlfriend.
The two got into an argument before he snatched her bag, which contained one $200 in cash.
Cintron has been charged with second degree arson and third degree grand theft. He’s being held in the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center on $12,500 bond.
That must be one interesting Thanksgiving dinner table in that family.
