The woman accused of setting a man on fire and then fleeing in his van was arrested by Harrisburg police Saturday night.
Christina Leach, 27, was arrested at 9:30 p.m. on the 1000 block of Mulberry Street, said police Sgt. Gabriel Olivera in an email.
Earlier in the day, Leach offered to give a man a massage at a home on the 7100 block of Wertzville Road, said Silver Spring Township police Sgt. Leroy Hippensteel at a news conference. Leach then tied the man to a bed, poured a "flammable substance" on his upper body then set him on fire, he said.
