A Casper man hoped to gain his girlfriend’s admiration when he set fire to their apartment earlier this month, authorities said Monday. Jeff Wayne Oliver planned to extinguish the fire, saving everyone in his apartment and impressing his girlfriend, investigators allege in court documents. Instead, he fell asleep and only woke after a woman in another bedroom noticed the fire and began pounding on his door. Authorities say Oliver initially denied any involvement, but after taking a polygraph test, admitted to starting the fire in the refrigerator. He told investigators his girlfriend was giving all of her attention to her children and new friends. He wanted her to pay more attention to him.
