Woman sets her boyfriend on fire

Police have charged a New Jersey woman who allegedly set her boyfriend on fire causing third-degree burns.

The girlfriend told officers the blaze began after a match from lighting a smoke fell on the blanket her boyfriend was sleeping under, reported the Courier Post.

The 47-year-old ran outside his home and rolled in the snow to douse the flames.

He suffered third-degree burns to his right torso, face, right shoulder and right arm, the newspaper said. The man is in stable condition at a Philadelphia hospital.

Pamela Rozzelle, 50, is charged.
