ELKTON, MD (WBFF) - A woman is in custody with multiple arson-related charges following a house fire in Cecil County.

Just after 1:15 p.m. on Thursday, Singerly Fire Company and surrounding fire departments responded to the unit block of Cherry Lane in Elkton for a reported house fire.

Witnesses reported observing a woman, later identified as Gail J. Metwally, 47 of Elkton, setting multiple fires within the home and then sitting in a chair on the front lawn, where she watched the fire engulf the home.

After a few minutes, Metwally walked away from the scene.

While the home was on fire, witnesses heard an occupant in a basement window yelling for help.

Bystanders safely assisted her out the window.

While responding to the scene, Cecil County Sheriff's Office observed Metwally in the area, where she was detained and transported to the Maryland State Police North East Barrack.(snip)

Metwally has been charged with 1st and 2nd Degree Attempted Murder, 1st Degree Arson, 1st Degree Assault, two counts of Malicious Burning 1st Degree, two counts of Malicious Destruction of Property, and two counts of Reckless Endangerment.

Metwally is currently being held at the Cecil County Detention Center, pending a District Court Commissioner hearing

She looks like my mother-in-law’s younger sister. Scary.

She must have been angry. Very angry.

Lights out in her head, dentures out of her mouth.
She looks as smug and self satisfied as the famous Meme showing a little girl looking at the camera with a blazing house behind her. The child’s look implies “Yeah. I did that. And it was glorious!

Reading another article it seems to have something to do with renters not leaving the house due to covid. The woman who was rescued ...along with other people... were renters. They rented from a man.

People like this have always been around, they just didn't get media exposure.

"In footage circulating online, a woman wearing a white tanktop can be seen arguing with a man on the porch of the home in question while she was holding some sort of stick or pole. It got physical."
