AUGUSTA, Ga. — A Thomson man was in critical condition after Richmond County Investigators say he purposefully had his head set on fire.

The incident was originally reported that the man got into a fight with several others at Allie Katz Bar off Washington Road, and then those men set him on fire to retalliate...but investigators say that wasn’t the case.

William Bonner, 36, is getting himself ready...to prove his friends wrong. It takes two attempts...and then...success? After being doused with rum, Bacardi 151 to be exact...his head goes up in flames.
