23-year-old Ohio man, Robbi Davon Robinson Jr, was charged with aggravated arson and felonious assault for beating and setting ablaze his father's partner

On Thursday, police in Fairfield Township of Butler County, Ohio, found a severely burned woman with knocked-out teeth gasping for air in the backyard of her home as she struggled to get help. The victim, Brenda Scott, lives in Fairfield Township with her boyfriend and son, Robbi Davon Robinson Jr.

She revealed that Robinson Jr was responsible for her condition, as he severely beat her and knocked out her teeth.

"I can't breathe! My inhaler's in the house … I can't breathe; he knocked my teeth out."

Smith's neighbor, Dennis Williams, was the one who alerted the authorities via 911 after his barking dogs led him to the victim. Williams also told the dispatchers and media that the 23-year-old son of her partner threw gasoline on the Smith before setting the fire on the second floor of their two-story Ohio house, as told to him by the victim. The victim reportedly jumped out the second-floor window in a bid to escape when Williams found her.

"I see one of my neighbors laying in the grass, and she looked like she was covered in dust. So I come running over, and her immediate action was, 'He set me on fire.'"

When police were at the scene, the bodycam footage also revealed an approaching Robbi Davon Robinson Jr, wearing a winter jacket despite the 80°F temperature. The 23-year-old Ohio man tried to showcase no knowledge of the incident while proclaiming his innocence in front of the officials. As he continued to express his disbelief, police authorities explained about the incident and ultimately arrested him per the aforementioned charges.

Robbi Davon Robinson Jr is being held at the Butler County Jail, and the local judge has set his bond at $200,000 while he is due to appear in court on Wednesday, May 17.
