NY Man Removes Monitoring Device, Catches Fire
"When emergency crews arrived, they found smoldering clothes in the yard and McClaskey inside the house in extreme pain. He was taken to the hospital with burns burns over 60 percent of his body."

What an idiot.

McClaskey had lighter fluid on his leg and although he told officials he was trying to light his grill, that didn't seem likely since there was no charcoal on it,

Lighting my grill - Yeah, that's my story and I'm sticking to it!

This is expected. If the guy was smart, he wouldn't have committed the crime that put him in the ankle tracking device.

Your honor my client was trying to light the grill. In light of Police Chief Richard Carey's prior testimony no charcoal was on the grill it is obvious my client, an admittedly stupid man, was telling the truth when he said he was trying to light the grill and we ask for a dismissal of all charges.
