A disturbing and bizarre scene was caught on video on Nov. 27, 2024, showing a convicted sex offender attempting to torch a Cadillac Escalade—but instead ending up setting himself ablaze in the process, according to multiple widely shared clips online.
The footage, which has racked up millions of views on social media, appears to show the suspect pouring an accelerant onto the parked Escalade as part of an intentional act of arson. Moments later, a flame ignites and the man is seen screaming and running from the vehicle—his clothing catching fire as he flees.
The unsettling visuals have been described in comment threads as both chaotic and tragic, with viewers noting the suspect’s desperate attempts to put the flames out as he runs.
Local law enforcement confirmed that the man, who was already known to police as a registered sex offender and accused of soliciting a minor for prostitution, was taken into custody after being extinguished by responding officers. He reportedly suffered burn injuries, though the full extent of his condition has not been officially released as of now.
