Internet sensation "Lieutenant Dan" has been arrested over a dozen times and is accused of trying to set a woman on fire.
54-year-old Joseph Malinowsk went viral for refusing to leave his boat in the Tampa area ahead of Hurricane Milton.
There is an open criminal case over whether or not his boat even belongs to him.
He has also been arrested for battery against a law enforcement officer, drug possession, and attempted breaking and entering.
In February, Malinowsk reportedly got into an argument with a woman who was on a concrete bench.
He approached the woman and poured gasoline on the bench where she was sitting and allegedly set it on fire.
Malinowsk then started pouring water on her and tried to light her on fire as well.
A GoFundMe was recently set up for Malinowski, calling him "the kindest soul" who is "always ready to lend a hand." It has raised tens of thousands of dollars.
