A Grass Valley man has been jailed after he allegedly beat a woman, doused her in gasoline, and acted as if he was going to burn her alive.

Stevens is charged with one felony count of torture, as well as a misdemeanor count of violating a restraining order, court records state.
The Nevada County District Attorney’s Office issued the arrest warrant for Stevens.
