ORLANDO, FL --- Authorities say Marco Brown and his wife were involved in a domestic dispute, arguing in the parking lot of their apartment complex Saturday morning.
Police say Brown punched his wife several times and choked her. He then poured gasoline on her and her car.
Before he could set her on fire, police say Brown's brother stepped in giving time for Brown's wife to run away.
Brown took off too and was arrested some time later, at a gas station.
Charges of attempted murder, aggravated and domestic battery have been filed and he is currently held in the Orange County Jail without bond.
