Pinoy jailed for setting fire in ex-wife’s house and car

A Filipino has been arrested in New Jersey for several charges including arson, the Philippine Daily Inquirer reported.

Wildemar Dangcil is facing charges of making terroristic threats and eluding a restraining order.

Dangcil told his estranged wife that he was going to burn her car with her in it.

He poured gasoline around his former wife’s house then left before he light it. On Thursday evening, June 6, he surrendered to the police after his car was found abandoned at a Little Ferry shopping center.

Dangcil is detained at the Bergen County Jail after a judge denied his release following a detention hearing.
