The four-term councilman suffered second- and third-degree burns covering up to 60% of his body, mostly on his torso, after alleged assailant Shotsie Michale Buck Hayes barged into Vogler’s workplace, drenched him with a five-gallon jug of fuel, chased him outside and then torched him.

City councilman Lee Vogler was doused with gasoline and set ablaze in his Danville office. Police say the assailant was known to Vogler and the motive was personal.
