Frustrated With Late Payment Notices . . . Set Yourself on Fire!?!

A man from Newark set himself on fire today in the middle of a rental store reportedly over being frustrated with some late payment notices he had received. It is not really clear what the man was hoping to accomplish, but something tells me that their were better, less painful ways, to archive his goals.

""He basically pulled out a bottle of lighter fluid, poured it all over his body, pulled out a cigarette lighter and lit himself on fire," Bloomfield Police Capt. Chris Goul said.

Saladriagas arrived at the store and asked to speak with a manager about a series of form letters he'd received about late payments on his furniture rentals, Goul said. When he was told a manager wasn't available he became upset and pulled out the lighter fluid.
