Man Sets Fire To Girlfriend's House With Fireworks

A Georgia man was arrested last week after he used fireworks to set fire to his girlfriend's home. The "Atlanta Journal-Constitution" is reporting that firefighters were called to the woman's home early last Thursday morning after neighbors noticed flames on the side of the house. The woman proceeded to tell authorities she had been in a domestic dispute with her boyfriend, Joshua Rotkaen. Investigators subsequently searched the 21-year-old's residence and located a firework identical to the one they found at his girlfriend's house. The Lawrenceville resident eventually admitted to starting the fire. Joshua Rotkaen is facing charges of first-degree arson and battery.
