A 34-year-old Milton woman was arrested after her husband alleged she attempted to burn his boat, go-kart and Jacuzzi after an altercation.
Shannon Wriska was arrested Thursday afternoon and charged with a first-degree battery charge and arson, a second-degree felony.
At 1 p.m. Thursday afternoon, Santa Rosa County deputies were dispatched to Fleetwood Drive in Milton in reference to an arson complaint.
When deputies arrived, they noticed a boat that was parked in front of a trailer had been partially burned and that the flames that looked to have been from the fire had reached the side of the trailer.
When they arrived at the scene, they were met by Robert Wriska who stated that his wife, Shannon had burned his boat and his go-kart that was parked next to his trailer according to the report.
The police report stated Robert said he had been in an altercation with his wife the night before and that they watched a movie that starred the actress Jennifer Lopez.
Robert stated his wife was very jealous of the actress and did not like him seeing her in the movie. Robert said an argument ensued over the actress and both went to bed.
The report stated that Robert stated that while both he and his wife were in the bed, Shannon started to argue and later left the house.
The next day, Robert said he was at another residence drinking alcohol and his wife pulled up in her vehicle and saw him drinking and became agitated the report indicated.
Robert stated that Shannon then walked outside of their trailer and started pulling hoses off of the motor of his go-kart. Then Robert told deputies that she lit the go-kart on fire, and he ran outside and attempted to extinguish the fire with water from a hose.
He then stated he saw Shannon drive away in her vehicle with his dogs stating she was going to “put them to sleep” the report stated.
Robert originally told officers that a physical fight did not ensue, but later told police that his wife grabbed him by the neck and smacked and scratched him on the side of his face.
When police spoke to a witness that was with Robert when he was drinking Thursday, the witness stated that she observed Shannon pulling the wires off of the go-kart and that when she saw Shannon walk away from the go-kart, she saw flames ignite.
The witness stated that they observed Robert put the fire out with a hose and then saw Shannon punch Robert.
The witness stated to officers that after Robert went back inside his neighbor’s house, someone came in the house and said that Shannon was lighting Robert’s boat on fire and that she was attempting to light a Jacuzzi on fire by pouring gasoline inside of it.
When officers spoke to another witness they stated they saw Shannon light the go-kart on fire and saw the physical altercation between the Wriska’s. According to the report, the witness said Robert did not fight back during the physical fight.
The witness also told police she saw Shannon pouring gasoline onto the boat, but could not verify whether Shannon lit it on fire.
Shannon was later arrested and interviewed at the jail where she stated both her and her husband had been fighting throughout Wednesday night and into Thursday. Shannon said Robert called her several times on Thursday verbally “harassing” her according to the report
She then stated she came home from work on Thursday and saw Robert drinking a beer and then walked outside and pulled a wire off of his go-kart. She told police that this aggravated Robert and that he pulled her out of her truck as she attempted to leave the residence.
She stated that as Shannon was leaving, Robert took a gas can from the back of the go-kart and poured it on the go-kart and lit it on fire.
The report indicated Shannon never admitted to lighting anything on fire.
The case is still under investigation by the state Fire Marshals.
Wriska remains in Santa Rosa County Jail without bond.

Throw the book at her, then throw the keys away.
I don’t care how hot you might be — you don’t burn a man’s go-kart.
Another rough trip down the ugly tree.
I can see why she would be jealous....
“Throw the book at her, then throw the keys away. I don’t care how hot you might be — you don’t burn a man’s go-kart.”
Do men own go-karts? Aren’t they a little ... small?
How do you burn a hot tub? Isn’t that like burning a giant cup of coffee?
ping
Size doesn't matter -- it all depends on what you can get out of that two-stroke...
“Size doesn’t matter ...”
Uh huh ...
I guess she could have filled the hot tub with gas from the go-kart.
GUILTY! Death sentence for her! Can’t burn a man’s boat and be that ugly.
J-Lo on the other hand can burn my boat anytime.
Anyone watching a jolo movie deserves to have their go-kart and hot tub vandalized.
Paul Thorn’s Burn Down the Trailer Park
I borrowed some money, I sold my car
I set an airstream trailor up on blocks.
That satellite dish was my first mistake,
She started watchin’ Oprah Winifrey and Rikki Lake.
She cut me down to once a week,
At supper time there wasn’t nothing to eat.
I was paranoid and scared to death,
She came home with Aqua Velva on her breath.
Chorus: Burn down the trailer park
Shoot the pink flamingoes out in the yard.
I can’t live here since you broke my heart,
I’m gonna burn down the trailer park.
She hired the neigbor’s son to cut our grass,
She gave him cold iced tea and a piece of pie.
My landlord came while I was out of town,
Our pipes got fixed and the rent went down.
I fell asleep with the Late Show on,
Now it’s 3 a. m., I wake up and she’s gone.
I’ve got a strong suspicion she’s at it again,
But since I don’t know which trailer she’s in...
Chorus: Burn down the trailer park,
Shoot the pink flamingoes out in the yard.
I can’t live here since you broke my heart,
I’m gonna burn down the trailer park.
Burn it down.
Jenny Jones don’t understand,
Geraldo don’t understand,
Maury Povich sure don’t understand
I got a can of gas and I’m a dangerous man.
Chorus: I’m gonna burn down the trailer park,
Shoot the pink flamingoes out in the yard.
I can’t live here since you broke my heart,
I’m gonna burn down the trailer park.
Burn down the trailer park.
Shoot the pink flamingoes out in the yard.
I can’t live here since you broke my heart,
I’m gonna burn down the trailer park.
Burn down the trailer park.
Burn it down.
I used to drive a bumper car until I quit drinking.
Easy to see how the guy could afford a boat and a hot tub...he didn’t spend a whole lot on finding a wife.
“Throw the book at her,”
Why waste a perfectly good book? Its not going to mess up her face. Just sayin.
