A continuation of a story from last weekend, a man accused of setting a woman on fire in southeast Houston is in police custody.

Officers arrested 60-year-old Harold Celestine on charges of criminal mischief and aggravated assault of a family member.

Celestine reportedly poured gasoline onto 40-year-old Lasheak Wilborn and set her on fire last week.

Wilborn suffered severe burns to various parts of her body.

Another person suffered minor burns while trying to put out the fire using a mattress and blankets. Celestin has a criminal history dating back decades.
