Mandan Man, High on Meth, Sets Himself on Fire in Dickinson
If you need another reason as to never...EVER...try meth, just read this story coming out of Dickinson.
According to The Bismarck Tribune, a Mandan man, who was high on meth at the time, set himself on fire at a Dickinson gas station, because he thought that men in chemical suits had sprayed him with chemicals.
To get the chemicals off, the man thought it would be wise to cover himself in gasoline. He then lit a cigarette, causing himself to burst into flames.
While up in flames, the man ran through the gas station car wash. Once the flames were extinguished, the man found a car with the keys inside and drove away erratically.
He then drove through Dickinson for a bit before ditching the car and running into a local residence. The resident was home at the time and called the cops, who found the man in the basement, covered in second and third-degree burns.
The man was taken to the hospital and then flown to the Regions Burn Center in St. Paul.
No charges have been filed yet, though they will be once the man has recovered.
If that doesn't keep you away from meth, I don't know what will.
