DeLAND, Fla. (AP) — A Florida homeless woman is in Volusia County jail after setting her boyfriend on fire.
The Volusia County Sheriff’s office says that 41-year-old Annie Harper doused her boyfriend’s shorts with lighter fluid and then set him on fire. The victim told deputies that they got in an argument and she was mad at him for not providing her with drugs. The incident occurred at a homeless camp in the woods outside of DeLand.
Harper is charged with aggravated battery. A second misdemeanor battery charge was added after a witness reported seeing Harper kick the victim, a 34-year old male, as he was lying on the ground naked.
The victim was treated at a Daytona Beach hospital before being transferred to a burn unit in Orlando.
Nothing to see here. Just your typical 41 year old homeless drug addict and her conflicts with her lover. See this is why when I see homeless people I have to at least consider giving them change. When I’m in the car I make sure the windows are rolled up and doors are locked. But on the street if a vagrant asks me for money, at that second you gotta know your life is up in the air and has no idea which way it’ll fall. Maybe you play it safe, give them spare change, they leave you alone. Maybe you give them change and they follow you asking for more. It’s all a gamble with drug addicted homeless people. Shit who knows maybe her boyfriend could’ve given her drugs and she still could’ve lit his body on fire. You just gotta accept that your gambling with life by talking to a homeless person, not to mention getting in a relationship with one.
Also side note- Is this guy, her boyfriend, homeless too? For some reason I played it out as he lives a shitty life in a crappy dilapidated house, gets a bj from this homeless woman in exchange for drugs and then she proceeds to sleep outside. In that case its just really a prostitution scenario as opposed to a Boyfriend thing. I mean I’m not a big titles person but just saying.
