A man was in the process of setting his vehicle on fire with a road flare when police arrived Tuesday afternoon.
The Redding Police Department said Dane Brayman, age 39, of Antelope, CA was angry that his vehicle ran out of gas at 2851 Park Marina Drive in Redding. They say he used large rocks to break the windows of the vehicle. Mr. Brayman was warned to stay off the property as per the business owner’s request.
More than an hour later, police were dispatched to the same place again because Brayman was in the process of setting his vehicle on fire with a road flare. RPD officials said Brayman began to walk away when officers attempted to contact him. The vehicle was fully engulfed when Fire personnel arrived. The fire damaged the asphalt in the parking lot.
