A Massachusetts man who authorities say attempted to use Cheetos to accelerate a fire at his ex-girlfriend’s home while she was inside has been convicted of malicious destruction of property.
The Bristol County District Attorney’s Office says a jury convicted 31-year-old Shemroy Williams, of Taunton, on Wednesday. He was sentenced to two-and-a-half years behind bars.
Crews responded to a home in March after the woman and her friend reported that Williams was trying to light it on fire.
Authorities say an investigation revealed Williams wedged a propane tank against the house while a fire on the back porch was burning.
Police say they located Williams in the area with two lighters in his pocket and an empty bag of Cheetos. Investigators determined Williams tried to use Cheetos to accelerate the fire.

I nominate this guy for the Darwin award. What is wrong with people, every little thing sets them off. Makes me think of the old adage “If you can’t stand the heat stay out of the kitchen,” is it just me or do people under 30 act more like high school kids than adults?
All the kids know these days are playing video games, being disrespectful & no morals. They think the world owes them a living. I have a grandson like that.
This guy is dumb.
I have a son just like this man. Thinks I owe him something because he was born to me. I told him ” go to HEL” and hung up the phone. Now I cannot call him, write to him or my grandchildren. His wife even told me to not send HIGHLIGHTS magazine to his 3 children.
So now I have he will not know when I die and he will not get a cent from me from my estate.
What goes around comes around
Are Cheeto S really that flammable, no wonder I have Gas after I eat them. Proof. Happy Chris.
