If there’s anything worse than getting arrested in a West Virginia parking lot, we can’t think of it. No, actually…the story gets crazier.

Creio Bishop, 21, was arrested and charged with second-degree arson for allegedly setting fire to JB’s Gentleman’s Club in Huntington, where his girlfriend McKayla Biedenbach was working to support herself and him. 

Judging from the one tasteless video on his YouTube Channel (if you dare) this guy's a real class-act

Jim Reed, the manager at JB’s, told reporters at WSAZ, “It’s stupid. She’s trying to make a living for herself. He’s not doing nothing. She’s paying the bills from what I understand.”

The deadbeat romeo was apprehended in the Walmart parking lot across the street, where he drew attention to himself by telling people to “Let it burn.”

Bishop did it because he was “'he was tired of his girlfriend working at JB’s,” according to deputies.

Reed says Biedenbach had been dancing at the club for six months before her bankrupt beau got upset and decided to torch the place.

Luckily, there was no one inside— according to a statement from the Office of the State Fire Marshal, Bishop lit the slaphouse up at about 3:30am, after it had closed for the night.

The blaze scorched the club’s front door, air conditioner, surveillance camera, siding, and an exterior wall. JB’s manager estimated the total damage to the business at $1,000. That's a lotta dolla bills!

Bishop was transported to the Western Regional Jail, where he was ordered held on $10,000 bond. It is not known whether Biedenbach’s salary got him out of the slammer.

Reed added, “It’s crazy. It’s Huntington. This whole town is crazy anymore.”

They may be crazy, but they’ve got the hot strip joint in town…literally!
