What the Hell Theater - 7/1

A Boynton, Florida, man is nursing burns after his roommate and landlord doused him in alcohol and set him on fire. Jonathan Steinberg, 58, faces two counts of aggravated battery. Police say Steinberg and Ronald Rohde were arguing over rent money on Monday. Another roommate said that at one point Steinberg threw alcohol on Rohde's torso and lap. During a scuffle, Steinberg grabbed a screwdriver and cut Rohde's lower back. That's when Rohde realized his boxer shorts were on fire. He was treated for minor burns at a hospital. Steinberg was charged with aggravated battery.


Police say a New York man arrested for burglary was tracked through DNA left on a carton of orange juice he allegedly drank from and left at the scene of the crime. James Moorer, 20, was arrested and charged with burglary this week for allegedly breaking into a Chelsea apartment on Christmas Day 2009. He made off with a desktop computer, videos and cameras. Police arrested Moorer, who has several prior arrests, after matching his DNA to the national DNA database.
