A 46-year-old Kane County resident allegedly set his own home on fire in order to get two visitors to leave, police said.
Dean Craig was charged with felony arson after allegedly splashing rubbing alcohol on the floor of the two-story home in Aurora Township and using a lighter to ignite the fire around 1 a.m. Sunday, the Kane County Sheriff's office said.
When authorities arrived at Craig's home, which is owned by his mother, it was engulfed in flames, police said. Craig and his two guests were not injured.
Craig allegedly had asked two visitors to leave, but when they refused, he threatened to light his house on fire, police said.
Craig was being held Monday at the Kane County Jail on $25,000 bond. He is scheduled to appear in court on June 9.

You don't have to go home but you can't stay here.

I remember reading an article here on FR a month or so ago, about guests who don't pay rent and don't leave...and can't be evicted. Some legal twist or something...

I just start shooting at 'em with my .22, that's usually enough to get 'em moving.

Didn't someone make a movie about this?

A probable schizophrenic son thought his parent's house was his to rule, and decided that burning the house down was justified.

Look up "Squatter's Rights" on Google. Quite a bit about it, but I can't condense the info.

I hope no one flames this thread, but it looks like a potentially hot one for Freepunners. So to ignite the action, I'll just say the guy was a little hot under the collar.

Yes, like finding bloated politicians distasteful and re-electing Kennedy.

Unfortunately, a second house burning will be required to get rid of the roaches.

Cleaning a shotgun on the kitchen table with a demented look in your eye usually works.
