A Warrenville woman reported that a man poured gasoline on her and ignited it but she escaped from any injury, according to the Aiken County Sheriff's Office.
No arrests were made when deputies responded to a disturbance at 7:12 a.m. on Pleasure Island Road, according to a sheriff's report.
The woman told deputies she was lying on the porch when the subject started pouring gasoline on her. The woman said that the man then lit the gasoline but she was able to get away before the flames reached her, according to the report.
The man then came at her with a wrench but dropped it before getting to her, according to the report. The woman said that the man then struck her twice in the face with his fist. The woman got away and went to a friend's house to get a ride home and call the police.
Deputies then met with the man who said he had been asleep and knew nothing about the incident, investigators said. He added the last time he saw the woman was when the deputies responded to the location the first time, according to reports.
The deputies had originally responded to the incident location at 3:50 a.m. for a disturbance.
A witness also stated he was asleep and did not observe the altercation, deputies said.
Deputies did not observe burn marks on the porch and could not establish probable cause for an arrest, according to reports.
