Teens Set Fire to Boy's Hair


EDEN, Md. (Dec. 31) - Police say two Maryland teens lit a boy's hair on fire and recorded the attack on a camera phone.
The Wicomico County Sheriff's Office says the victim was sleeping early Sunday at a home in Eden in eastern Maryland when 17-year-old Forrest Wilson poured lighter fluid on his hair and set it ablaze. The victim put out the fire, then discovered a 14-year-old boy was recording the video.


Investigators say the video showed Wilson light the 16-year-old victim's hair on fire. Police did not know a motive and withheld the victim's name. The victim, whose hair was singed, notified his parents later that day.
Wilson and the 14-year-old are charged with assault and other charges — Wilson as an adult, and the younger teen as a juvenile.
