A Waterloo man was arrested early Thursday morning for pouring gasoline on his wife’s car while she and her sister were inside. Waterloo Police say 28-year-old Patrick McGrane is charged with first-degree arson after he poured a can of gasoline on the windshield of the car and threatened to light it on fire. McGrane’s wife told police he also struck the back passenger window with a shovel while she and her sister were in the car. McGrane is being held in the Black Hawk County Jail on a $150,000 bond.
