He showed her! Dude in JP burns down his own house...

A bit long but the story is good.

Love’s wife told deputies that she confronted her husband when he arrived home just after midnight on Feb. 23, according to the sheriff’s office. Love hadn’t answered her telephone calls and she questioned why he was home so late.

The two began to argue, and Love pushed over a large rack that held his wife’s shoe collection, authorities said.

He continued to yell and told his wife, “I’m gonna show you,” the sheriff’s office said.

As Love walked off and grabbed a container of gasoline from the sunroom of the single-story home, his wife hurriedly woke the couple’s three sleeping children and ushered them into her car, the sheriff’s office said.

Love’s wife walked back inside the house and found her husband pouring gasoline onto a pile of her shoes. She tried to talk him down, but Love “became more irate and agitated,” the sheriff’s office said.

He then returned to the sunroom to grab a cigarette lighter. Love’s wife told deputies he then set the fuel-soaked piled of shoes ablaze, according to authorities.

Love’s wife ran out of the house, got into her car and drove to a relative’s home to call for help. When deputies arrived about 12:52 a.m., they spotted dark smoke billowing out of the rear of the residence and visible flames near the roof, according to authorities.

Investigators obtained a warrant for Love’s arrest for aggravated arson, which is defined by state law as intentionally setting fire to a structure where human life could be endangered.

Love was being held without bond Friday at the Jefferson Parish Correctional Center in Gretna.

On a side note, the reporter that wrote this story needs to retake English 101. How many "according to authorities" and "the Sheriff's Office said" can you put in one article?
