(AP) — A 23-year-old Panhandle man remains in jail, awaiting prosecution on allegations that he poured gasoline on his girlfriend’s sister and threatened to set her aflame.

James Browning, of Lyman, was arrested after a disturbance on Sunday morning.

Court documents say the sister of Browning’s girlfriend was trying to help the girlfriend get away from Browning when he threw the gas on the sister. The documents also say Browning threw items at the sister’s vehicle as they drove away and later threatened the sister’s husband with an ax when he showed up at Browning’s property.

Browning is charged with two felony counts of terroristic threats and two related misdemeanors.

Jail records say Browning remained in custody on Thursday. His attorney didn’t immediately return a call.
