KENOSHA COUNTY, Wis. (CBS 58) -- A man found guilty of setting his girlfriend on fire in Salem Lakes back in 2023 has learned his fate. 

In court on Thursday, Sept. 4, a judge sentenced 38-year-old Myron Bowie to 70 years in prison.

Following the incident, Bowie went on the run and was eventually apprehended in Chicago.
