Meanwhile taxpayers will be footing the bill for the extensive
skin-grafting.

A guy here in Austin literally burst into flames trying to steal
live copper wire from, of all places, an electrical substation.
Duh.

While the crime itself is minor, he was Life-Lined to San Antonio
where they can reconstruct him while the County foots the bill for
medical services.

In Dave's example, the guy with 90% of burns on his body hasn't even
been connected to any of the fires. They did arrest two completely
unrelated suspects though. He forgot to mention that part.
