DAYTON, Ohio - Police say they have arrested a man who allegedly tried to stab his girlfriend and then set her on fire, all because of a crack pipe.

Officers responded to 4447 Foxton Court around 10:20 p.m. after witnesses reported seeing a "male and female fighting about a crack pipe," according to dispatchers. Police arrived to find Andrea Fradl and Mary Akers outside the residence, and Akers told police that Fradl's boyfriend, George Combs Jr., had tried to set her truck on fire.

Akers and Fradl were inside the apartment when Combs broke into the residence, according to reports. Fradl said Combs was drunk and demanded money, but was refused. He then hit Fradl in the face, went outside and flattened the tires of Fradl's truck, and returned with a lighter and gas can in an attempt to set Fradl on fire.

After Fradl escaped outside to her truck, Combs followed with the gas can and tried to light the truck on fire. He then broke into the vehicle and swung a knife at her, according to reports.

Combs fled as police arrived, but officers found him nearby and arrested him. He was charged with felony assault and burglary and taken to the Montgomery County Jail.
