Authorities arrested a Florida man for arson after video showed him setting a Tampa business ablaze Wednesday.
Authorities arrived on at the restaurant at 8:45 a.m., after a call for a reported assault or battery. Deputies found suspect Rubiel Macero Castillo, using a propane tank as flame thrower, according to the Hillsborough Country Sheriff’s Office’s Facebook post.
Castillo, 53, was arrested when exiting the restaurant, video in the post shows.
The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s office did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.
“When deputies arrived, they found the business filled with smoke and flames, while a propane tank outside the building was also on fire,” the sheriff’s office shared in the post.

“Court documents reveal he threatened his wife during an argument that she wouldn’t have a store anymore. Surveillance video shared by the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office showed Rubiel Maceo Castillo with a lit propane tank inside Estela Brasil Latin Coffee.
He made statements that…by the end of the day, she would no longer have this restaurant. Then he went to this restaurant, which is a family-owned restaurant, grabbed a metal pan and started destroying property,” Amanda Granit, Public Information Officer for the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office, told 8 On Your Side.

If you want to burn out, you've gotta take her out, propane
If you want to burn down, burn it down to the ground, propane
She don't lie, she don't lie, she don't lie, propane.

It’s better to burn out than to fade away.
It’s also better to wear mask (fire retardant, of course) when torching restaurants so as to avoid camera.

That is only if you don't want to get caught. That mug shot looks like he wants the restaurant to know who he is.
