Florida man Melvin Cintron arrested after burning car belonging to girlfriend who is his cousin

A Florida man was arrested Wednesday for arson after he allegedly torched a car belonging to his girlfriend and cousin — who are one and the same — several months ago.

Melvin Alain Cintron, 37, was caught on camera lighting his cousin and lover’s Jaguar XE sedan on fire in front of a North Miami home on April 29, according to an arrest report obtained by Local 10.

Investigators determined the sedan belonged to Cintron’s girlfriend, but were unable to interview her until Monday, the station reported.

She initially said her car caught fire as she drove home because she was afraid of what Cintron would do if she told cops the truth, according to the report.

Whenever she spoke to investigators about what happened to her car, her boyfriend made her put the phone on speaker.

When she was finally able to speak freely, she told officers she fears Cintron because he carries a fully automatic gun with a double-drum high-capacity magazine on him regularly and even has a nickname for its drums.

Cintron reportedly calls the two round drums on the sides of the magazine the gun’s “t—–s,” the report states.

The unnamed woman also told police that her alleged pyromaniac boyfriend stole her purse and left her without a way home from a Miami shopping center Friday.

Cintron reportedly got jealous when he thought a bartender was flirting with his cousin and the two got in an argument before he snatched her bag — which contained $1,200 cash, police said.

Police obtained an arrest warrant for Cintron, of Hollywood, FL., Monday and arrested at gunpoint Wednesday.

He has been charged with second-degree arson and third-degree grand theft and is being held in the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center on a $12,500 bond, Local10 reported.
