During the second assault, Breshears kicked in the victim’s door and repeatedly hit him with a lead pipe.

Then Breshears doused the house and victim with lighter fluid and lit the porch on fire.

Officers detained Brehsears near the fire, and he admitted to assaulting the victim. A witness saw the assault, called 911, and put out the fire, saving the victim.

Breshears is a citizen of the Muscogee (Creek) Nation. He will remain in custody pending transfer to the U.S. Bureau of Prisons.
