Police said a Pennsylvania woman allegedly dumped a bucket of pee on her burning boyfriend after setting him on fire in the first place.

Leigh Ann Sepelyak, 38, and her boyfriend, Grady Spencer III, had an argument on Saturday evening, according to TribLive Pittsburgh. So, after Spencer went to sleep, Sepelyak allegedly poured gasoline on him and set him ablaze with a cigarette.

After, she and her parents reportedly used a pail of pee, which the couple had been using in place of a bathroom, to put out the flames.

"The parents, when they heard screaming and smelled the smoke, helped put him out — I think with the same urine — and went to the hospital," Penn Hills police Chief Howard Burton told TribLive.

Sepelyak's parents, who reside on the main floor of the residence where the incident occurred, took Spencer to the hospital for treatment, where medical staff called the cops.

The fire burned nearly 25 percent of Spencer's lower body.

Sepelyak is facing charges of attempted homocide and arson. She is currently in jail after being unable to post bail, TribLive reported.

"I can't see how that's an accident when it happens at 4:40 a.m. and the gas was 25 to 30 feet away from the bed. It had to be carried," Burton said.
