Man charged with trying to burn friend's house down

Boston Police report a man tried to burn a drinking buddy's house down when the friend refused to hand over the gold chain the guy accused him of taking:

... After purchasing the gas, officers learned that the suspect came back with the gas can, poured gas on the front porch of the building and ignited a fire. Several witnesses reported to officers that they observed the suspect igniting fire, and even after the fire was put out, stated that the suspect kept trying to re-ignite the fire. Prior to the suspect lighting the fire, witnesses reported hearing him state that he would burn down the building if he did not get his chain back. ...

Police escorted Horace O. White, 55, of Roxbury, to a place where he wouldn't be allowed to play with matches.

Innocent, etc.
