Virginia Lawmaker Set on Fire: Suspect Claims Affair Motive

A shocking incident in Virginia has brought to light a violent attack on a local lawmaker, where the accused, Shotsie Michael Buck-Hayes, 29, allegedly attempted to murder Danville City Councilman Lee Vogler by setting him on fire. During a court hearing on Tuesday, it was revealed that Buck-Hayes claimed his motive stemmed from an alleged affair between Vogler and his estranged wife, Mary Alice.

According to reports, Vogler, 38, suffered horrific injuries after being drenched in five gallons of gasoline and ignited on July 30, resulting in burns covering 60% of his body. The attack occurred shortly after Buck-Hayes and Alice filed for divorce, raising questions about the nature of their relationship and the events leading up to the incident.

The motive had long been a subject of speculation, but on Tuesday, Danville Police Sgt. Clay testified that during interrogation, Buck-Hayes had explicitly mentioned his reason for the attack: “he set the person on fire who had an affair with his wife.” This chilling revelation has shocked the community and raised alarm about the potential for domestic tensions to escalate into acts of violence.
