The police didn't offer additional details on the alleged motive, but said a surveillance camera had recorded the 18-year-old dousing his 1992 BMW with gasoline and torching it on July 10.

Someone's watching: The act was captured by surveillance cameras.

At the time, it was parked about two-and-a-half feet from his 80-unit apartment building.


Rosario "did intentionally set his car on fire in front of his residence simply because he hated the car," a police report said. No one was injured in the fire.

The police recovered a large amount of raw gasoline as well as a plastic gas can from the car. The evidence against Rosario is considerable, they said.

Rosario was awaiting a court appearance on Friday. The charges include arson and reckless endangerment. He also faces a petit larceny charge from a previous arrest.
