THOMSON, Ga., Dec. 24 (UPI) -- Police in Georgia said they arrested a man who bungled his revenge scheme against an ex-girlfriend by tossing a Molotov cocktail into the wrong house.
Thomson police said Robert Holt, 25, threw a firebomb through the front window of a Thomson home at about 9 p.m. Sunday, The Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle reported Thursday.
Investigators said no one inside the home was harmed.
Holt was arrested Sunday night on felony charges of arson in the first degree, possession of an explosive device and four counts of aggravated assault. He was taken to the McDuffie County Law Enforcement Center without bail.
Georgia Insurance and Safety Fire Commissioner John Oxendine said Holt had mistaken the house for the current residence of his estranged girlfriend.
