ST. AMANT — A woman was arrested Friday after allegedly burning down a St. Amant camper while its occupant was still inside.

Nicole R. Mellon, 43, is accused of arson and attempted murder, State Fire Marshal investigators said.

Mellon and the camper’s occupant allegedly argued hours before the camper went up in flames. A neighbor woke the occupant after the fire was set on Monday, and the occupant escaped the camper safely.

The St. Amant Fire Department was called, however, neighbors extinguished the fire with a hose before firefighters arrived.

I looked it up. There is an RV campground and storage park in St Anant, LA. People who need temporary housing can park their RV there.
Probably a disagreement between the two about “something”...drugs,sex, housing for the night ..????
IMHO

Correct.
Meth.

She looks like Sally Struthers...................

Sally Struthers is closing in on 80 years old so probably so much these days. But here is a picture of Sally taken at about the same age right after she said in People magazine that mean old Betty White... fat shamed her. I can kind of see what you are saying...

Thanks. I’ll go out on a limb and say that, despite the tattoo, she isn’t really royalty.

[Ken Regis]

Yep.
She did it

[metmom]

WHERE?

Sheesh, can people put does the state or country these things happen in since not all of us know the entire geography of the whole world by heart?

[metmom]

What? Burning people alive in their campers?

20 miles southeast of Red Stick, Louisiana. I mean, Baton Rouge.

[metmom]

Thanks.

[know.your.why]

Meth...

Yup.

[BerryDingle]

No, the woman isn’t Tammy Faye.

[noiseman]

Oof…Suddenly, I’m having a difficult time defining what a woman is as well.

If people aren’t in a bad enough state that they want these sorts of tattoos, there are those who make them happen.

Same thing with all of the weird, destructive plastic surgery that’s done on the rich and famous.

Different price point, I suppose.

[Spacetrucker]

No, the location. Geez.

[desertsolitaire]

Probably over all three of those things.

She must have been a beautiful baby, but baby don’t you look at her now🤮
