HENDERSONVILLE (AP) — Police in Hendersonville say a man has been arrested after they say he doused another man with gasoline and set him on fire.
Local media outlets report the Henderson County Sheriff’s Office said 37-year-old Joseph Wolff III of Asheville was arrested and charged with felony assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill, inflicting serious injury.
The sheriff’s office said deputies responded to an address in the Edneyville community after receiving a report of a fight.

Wolff is being held at the Henderson County jail under an $80,000 secured bond. Online records don’t indicate whether he has an attorney.
