Genius Man Sets His Wife On Fire After Playing with Lighter at Gas Station [VIDEO]

A Georgia man decided to flick his Bic while pumping gas, and now he faces criminal charges and a very angry wife.

37-year-old Austin Dawkins of Clarkesville, GA and his wife were fueling up their pickup truck when Dawkins decided it was a good idea to flick open his lighter and show off. Security footage shows flames igniting around the nozzle and the opening of the truck's fuel tank before Dawkins pulls the nozzle away from the truck in a panic, inadvertently splashing his wife with gasoline which then ignites.

The woman suffered second and third-degree burns to her head, back, arms and legs. Dawkins is being charged with reckless conduct and could face a year in jail and a fine of $1,000.
