A man who was upset at his wife on Mother’s Day this week, Wednesday, August 12, decided to set his wife’s pickup truck on fire.

The suspect, Mr. Arthip Khugkit, 28, had been involved in a furious argument with his wife. The name of his wife was withheld and the exact nature of the argument was not revealed to the press.
