A Racine man is facing charges after reportedly attempting to burn down a family member’s home following an argument.
Clifford E. Mullins, 52, of the 1500 block of Monroe Avenue, is charged with felony arson of a building and three felony counts of first-degree recklessly endangering safety.
According to the criminal complaint:
On Tuesday, Mullins got into an argument with a family member at the family member’s home in the 1500 block of Monroe Avenue, where Mullins was also staying. The family member told Mullins that he had to leave.
Mullins left, but a few minutes later, another occupant of the home smelled smoke. The family member saw Mullins holding a burning piece of cardboard to one of the home’s open windows. During the arson attempt, two other people were in the home.
