Boy Arrested For Setting Friend On Fire Twice

SACRAMENTO (CBS13) ― A young boy has been arrested after allegedly setting his friend on fire twice while they were playing with lighter fluid.

A 12-year-old boy and a 13-year-old boy were putting lighter fluid into a water balloon in their treehouse Wednesday afternoon when the balloon popped, spilling the fluid on the older boy.

The 13-year-old boy began to climb down from the treehouse to clean up, when the 12-year-old boy touched a flame to his clothes as a prank, according to authorities.

The teen patted out the flames with his hands, but the 12-year-old boy did it again, causing injuries.

The 12-year-old boy has been arrested and charged with arson, according to police.
