A Dunbar woman has pleaded guilty to setting her boyfriend on fire.
    
Reports said that 46-year-old Cynthia Swoboda pleaded guilty to unlawful wounding Monday in Kanawha County Circuit Court.
    
Swoboda received a one-year jail sentence, with credit for time served.
    
Police say Swoboda poured gasoline on Shane Stone and then set him on fire in a pharmacy parking lot on May 26.
    
Stone was treated at Cabell Huntington Hospital's burn unit and released.
