A Greeley Hill man suffered serious burns over most of his body after an argument with a family member. The man, Jimmye Johnston, is being treated at a valley burn center.

According to the Mariposa County Sheriff’s report, Johnston argued with a family member over a beer. He then apparently doused himself with gasoline and set himself on fire.

When deputies arrived, they found him conscious and breathing. Family members had put the flames out, but Johnston was severely burned.
