A man from Braxton County is accused of pouring gas around a camper with a pregnant woman inside and lighting it on fire, according to a criminal complaint.

The victim, who is pregnant with Boling's child, according to family members, was able to escape without injury. Three small dogs also escaped the camper without injury, the family said.
