Man arrested after trying to set woman on fire over $10
DAYTON - A 46-year-old who tried to stab and set a woman on fire Saturday, Nov. 7, has been arrested on felony assault and burglary charges.
Officers were called 4447 Foxton Court about 10:20 p.m. by witnesses who said “male and female fighting about a crack pipe,” according to a police report.
Mary Akers, 47, told police George E. Combs Jr. had a gas can and was trying to set a truck on fire while she was inside the vehicle, the report stated. Officers noticed Akers had a cut on her head and bruising under her left eye, the report stated.
Akers said she and Combs’ girlfriend, Andrea Fradl, were inside her apartment when he broke into her place, the report stated.
Fradl said the incident started when Combs came in the home “intoxicated” and “belligerent,” while demanding $10, the report stated.
Combs hit Fradl in the face after she told him “no,” the report stated. Combs then went outside and flattened tires on Fradl’s truck, the report stated. He returned with a lighter and gas can and tried to pour gas on Fradl, Akers told the officers.
Fradl said she then fled to her truck and locked the doors, the report stated. Combs, armed with a knife and gas can, followed and opened a window in the back of truck, she told police. Combs swung the knife wildly inside the truck, cutting Fradl and threatening “to kill” her, the report stated.
Combs ran from the scene right before police arrived, but was found by officers nearby sitting down near an access road, the report stated. He was arrested on felony burglary and assault charges and also faces two misdemeanor assault and criminal damaging charges, the report stated.
He is in the Montgomery County Jail.
