The Macomb County Prosecutor's Office announced Friday that a Fraser woman has been charged with setting a car on fire after video shows her apparently filling the SUV with gasoline and then lighting it, only to have it explode in her face.
Sydney Parham, 26, was arrested on arson charges after police said she set the car on fire on Wednesday.
Video in Macomb County shows a woman filling a car with what looks like gasoline and then lighting with a stick lighter before it explodes in her face.
The fire department and deputies were called to the San Remo Apartments on Union Lake Road for a car fire on Wednesday around 8 a.m.
Video shot from across the parking lot shows a woman, identified by deputies as Parham, filling the back seat with what looks like gasoline, reaching in to ignite it with what looks like a stick lighter, and then the fire explodes in her face, sending her backward onto the pavement next to the SUV.
The video was uploaded to YouTube by user ppv_tahoe. The Macomb County Sheriff's office confirmed the video is the same incident that Parham was charged in.
When the fire department got the fire put out, nobody was nearby. After speaking with several witnesses and reviewing the video of the fire being set, deputies arrested Parham for the fire.
Parham has been charged with third-degree arson, a felony, and is currently being held on a $20,000 personal bond. She's due back in court on August 5th.

Well, no. The story says it was the ex-boyfriend reason. Notes: 1) She's wearing a white mask. 2) She has long dreads. 3) She doesn't think to just flip a match into the car. Instead, she sticks her whole head into the car (she must have broke out a window in the back seat). 4) After the blowback, she scrambles away then goes back to get the gas can and other incriminating evidence.
I thought only white people did ‘hey y’all watch this!’ stuff...
Gee, turned her brown. Too bad.
I know two folks who threw gasoline on a brush fire and got severe burns. Very dangerous.
I’ll go with “ex-boyfriend’s car” for $200, Alex.
Well, she was white before the incident...
Little tip for everybody; never, ever, under any circumstances, mix fire and gasoline. That’s all I got to say about that.

“Todays lesson is on the properties of vaporization”.
So, I see somebody pouring something out of a gas can into a car and the first thing I do is grab my phone and hit record.
Car goes boom and, just maybe I think I should call the fire department and have them come put it out before it catches the other cars on fire...
No, I’ll just stand there and keep recording.
Somewhat odd behavior on the part of whoever was watching this if you ask me.
