Florida man was taken into custody over the weekend for allegedly threatening a woman and setting fire to her home following a dispute at a bar.
Richard Caldwell, 30, was charged with arson and burglary on Saturday after he returned to the scene of the blaze, which occurred at a residence on the 400 Block of Southwest Crawfish Drive in Port St. Lucie. Authorities responded to reports of a fire at approximately 5:05 a.m.
Investigators said the suspect had been involved in a dispute with the victim at a local bar earlier in the morning, without elaborating on what sparked the disagreement. The victim left the bar with her friends but when she returned home Caldwell was inside the residence.
When the woman asked Caldwell to leave, he allegedly responded by threatening her, warning "you're going to regret this."
