A man who tried to burn down his ex-boyfriend’s house with a pot of boiling spaghetti sauce was arrested along with an accomplice in DeLand last week, according to Volusia County Sheriff’s Office.
Derrick Irving, 36 — who had an intimate relationship with the 50-year-old owner of the home on Evergreen Terrace — and John Silvia, 28, broke into the victim’s house and took a flat-screen TV, a vacuum, an air conditioning unit and a heater on March 13, according to an arrest report.
The victim, who was at work, called authorities after getting an alert on his phone that his security cameras caught some movement inside the home. The cameras had been covered with a towel.
When deputies arrived at the scene about 7 a.m., they stopped Irving and Silvia, who were trying to flee the scene in a red SUV, the report shows. Irving, who was wearing a onesie bull costume with a tail and a bull nose on its hoodie, said he was retrieving some of his clothes from the residence.
But deputies said there were no clothes in the car. Officials went inside the victim’s home and smelled something burning. The report says a deputy checked the stove and said he saw spaghetti sauce scorching in a large pot. A washcloth resting on the side of the burner had just started to catch fire.
In the passenger seat of the car, deputies also found an empty jar of Ragu sauce, which was retrieved from the victim’s kitchen cabinet, according to the affidavit.

Looks like the white guy stole the black guy’s cheeks.
Clever. He was obviously attempting to blend in with all the other Ragu-spattered bull onesie wearers in the neighborhood. There will be a public defender with another great scrapbook entry.
And wouldn’t you want to be the public defender assigned to this case?

Orlando isn’t anything like the part of Florida I live in.
I've got to be honest with you: This was not a headline I was expecting today. Even in Florida. I think it's the spaghetti sauce aspect.
