Lashawn Stevens Hardy
A South Carolina woman is accused of trying to kill her husband by setting him on fire while he was asleep.
Lashawn Stevens Hardy, 44, is charged with attempted murder and second-degree arson in the alleged attack against DeWayne Hardy early on Saturday, according to the Union County Sheriff's Office.
Police say they found a mattress and bed sheets burned when they arrived at the home on Tinker Creek Road, in Union.
The victim told deputies that Hardy poured gasoline on him while he slept before lighting him on fire.
He was flown to a Augusta Burn Center in Georgia to have second-degree burns on his neck and back treated.
It is unclear whether Lashawn Stevens Hardy has an attorney.
She was denied bond and will have a bond hearing over the weekend, deputies say.
The motive for the alleged crime is not known.
