LIVINGSTON - A man was arrested in connection with setting a person on fire in Livingston Parish. 

Livingston Parish Sheriff's Office arrested James Aaron Page, 40, in connection with a fire that left Brandon Duncan with severe burns.

According to Duncan's family, he was injured while visiting Page's home in Walker. Duncan's mother, Amy Leteff, says he told her he was sitting next to a fireplace, scratching a lottery ticket, and the next thing he knew, he was on fire. She says Duncan put himself out, then called 911.

She says the fire burned 30% of his body, and Page set her son on fire by pouring gasoline on him.

Law enforcement says that they are still piecing together details about what happened. 

"Both give conflicting stories. One says it happened for no good reason. Another tells us it involves unwanted sexual advances," Sheriff Jason Ard said. 

Page is facing one charge of aggravated second-degree battery charge.
