According to police, Chapman and 40-year-old Anita Ahmadi were arguing inside his car when Chapman threatened to set her on fire if she didn't "shut up."
Chapman was infuriated when Ahmadi failed to heed his warning.
In retaliation, Chapman doused the woman with a five-gallon jug of gasoline and set the woman ablaze. He then locked the doors of the vehicle as he exited, leaving the woman trapped inside to burn.
Ahmadi was rushed to Tampa General Hospital where she was treated for burns to her arms and legs.
Chapman was booked into the Hillsborough County Jail and charged with arson, aggravated battery causing great bodily harm and two counts of cocaine possession. Bond has not been set for the current charges and was revoked from an unrelated case.
Chapman has been arrested 23 times in Hillsborough County on a variety of charges including cocaine possession, marijuana possession, driving on a revoked license, grand theft auto, carrying a concealed weapon, burglary, grand theft, writing a fake check, aggravated battery, aggravated assault, driving on expired tags, contempt of court, assault, possession of burglary tools, domestic violence, possession of drug paraphernalia and habitual violator DWSR.
Most of the charges listed above are repeat offenses.
