Police: Wife tried to set spouse afire

A Little Rock woman tried to set her husband on fire with lighter fluid Thursday evening, an arrest report said.

Little Rock police arrested Lakeisha Bena Dillard, 44, on Thursday at 5812 Carlyle Drive on charges of aggravated assault and first-degree terroristic threatening after Dillard told officers multiple times that she intended to kill her husband, the report said.

Dillard's husband had lighter fluid on his pants, and there was a burnt piece of paper nearby, which officers said was consistent with his account of his wife's actions. Officers said Lakeisha Dillard was "too intoxicated" to be immediately interviewed.

She was being held without bail Saturday evening in the Pulaski County jail, according to the jail's roster.
