-- From "Police: Woman tossed burning bottle at anti-abortion group" by The Associated Press 3/24/15
An arrest affidavit states that members of Texas Alliance for Life were praying near the South Austin facility when a woman in an SUV tossed a "flaming item" out of the window.
Police found a fuel additive bottle and a rolled-up paper towel used as a wick. Investigators said that one of the women praying stomped out a small fire.
Witnesses reported a partial license plate to police, who found the SUV nearby. Toney initially denied involvement but then told police she threw a bottle that "might" have been smoldering.

From "Affidavit: Woman, 52, threw Molotov cocktail at prayer group outside Austin Planned Parenthood" by Madalyn Mendoza, San Antonio Express-News 3/25/15
According to an arrest affidavit, 52-year-old Melanie Maria Toney threw the device, “a bottle filled with a flammable substance and a wick material that is then lit so as to ignite when it contacts an object,” out the passenger window of her BMW while passing the clinic on 201 East Ben White Boulevard.
One of the two protesters reportedly stomped out the fire created by the device and quickly pulled out the wick to prevent the fire from touching the contents of the container, a Gumout Fuel Additive bottle.
Gumout is a “ignitable liquid that could ignite if it comes in contact with an ignition source such as a flame or burning wick,” said Detective Jesse Carrillo, who is assigned to the bomb squad, in the affadavit. “[…] In this case the gum out did not ignite due to the fact that it landed in a soft, grass area.”
Toney is currently facing the charge of aggravated Assault, a second-degree felony, but the charges could have been more severe if the device ignited.

From "APD: Woman threw Molotov cocktail near anti-abortion protesters" by Phil Jankowski, Austin American-Statesman 3/24/15
Protester Ruth Allwein with the Texas Alliance for Life told police she thought she was targeted, the arrest affidavit said.
Allwein had been praying in a grassy area in front of Planned Parenthood when she saw a white vehicle driven by a woman slow down, the affidavit said.
The driver threw the bottle out of the car window and it landed on the ground next to Allwein, the affidavit said. Allwein told police her heart was racing as she stomped out the fire the bottle had caused and pulled out a wick to make sure the flame did not ignite the liquid in the bottle, the affidavit said.
Another witness said it appeared that the flaming bottle was thrown directly at two anti-abortion protesters near the Planned Parenthood facility, the affidavit said. The witness was pulling out of a driveway when she saw the bottle thrown from a BMW SUV, the affidavit said.
