A 24-year-old Tehama County woman who thought her homeless boyfriend was cheating on her set his tent on fire, causing him to suffer severe burns, police say.
Red Bluff police arrested Phileen Gillermina Diaz Ruvalcaba on suspicion of attempted murder, arson and domestic violence. She is being held in the county jail in lieu of $1 million bail.
According to the Redding Record Searchlight, firefighters responded to reports of a homeless encampment burning in a field at 8:30 a.m. Friday. After putting out the fire, they learned from witnesses that a man had been inside a tent and was seriously burned.
