Three children were at the home at the time of the incident, according to the Starr County Sheriff’s Office.

Juan Garcia was arrested on August 30 on multiple charges.

A criminal complaint obtained by Channel 5 News identified Garcia as the man who attempted to commit arson at a woman’s residence on August 25.

According to the complaint, Garcia poured gasoline in the attic of a woman’s residence to “quemar tus sanchos,” which the complaint translates to “burn your lovers.”

The arson attempt “failed to effect the commission of the offense intended,” the complaint added.
