Man Who Set Himself on Fire Dies
A Clarion area man who set himself on fire during a confrontation with police has died of his injuries.
Twenty-four-year-old Levi Mohney died Thursday at a burn center in Pittsburgh.
He confronted troopers Wednesday at the home of his ex-girlfriend, Patty Rae Ferris in Strattanville, which ended a chain of events that started when he stole Ferris' television.
Police say Mohney returned to the home later, assaulted Ferris and stole more items. Several hours later, he was back at the house and, when police tried to arrest him, he ignited some kind of accelerant, setting the room and himself on fire.
He was taken by ambulance from the scene and later airlifted to the Pittsburgh hospital.
