A woman was arrested for setting her husbands car on fire in a parking lot in Ohio, United States, because it was dirty and had a faulty wheel.
Stephanie Carlson started the fire in a parking lot of a Walmart department store on Nov. 16, as per NBC-affiliate WFMJ last Wednesday, Nov. 20.
Security footage showed smoke already stemming from the vehicle as the 40-year-old approached it and appeared to pour gasoline on the car. As Carlson ran away from the vehicle, flames immediately appeared.
Police and fire authorities were later called to the scene at around 3:30 p.m. The reporting officers noted that Carlson had been acting strange.
She initially told police that the fire began due to lighting a candle to get rid of the smell of a can of gasoline in the cars trunk, the report stated. However, Carlson later admitted that she poured gasoline over the cars seats and used a lighter to start the flames.
When asked about the reason for her action, she said it was because the vehicle was dirty and that one of its front wheels had a problem. Police also pointed out that Carlsons clothes had smelled of gasoline.
According to the report, the vehicle belonged to her husband, who was said to be looking for her all day.
Upon Carlsons arrest, police found a lighter and mothballs in her purse. Her husband told authorities that she had allegedly been huffing paint thinner along with the mothballs.
There were no injuries from the incident, as per report, but the parking lot had been damaged. Carlson was charged with arson, inducing panic and criminal damage

WFMJ TV is the Youngstown NBC affiliate, so its the other end of the state from me.
FTA:
Carlson was charged with arson, inducing panic and criminal damage

So the act of charging Carlson with arson caused panic and criminal damage? The “writer” of this piece is an idiot. Is there nobody to read these stories before they are released?
Here we have another: Darwin Award Winner!
According to the headline, the CAR was charged with arson.
That brought to mind a scene from "Wings" where the mechanic Lowell, with a dreamy smile on his face, says "Who among us has not lingered a bit to long over a can of Adobe White."
That show had some great writers.
My family has been in South Florida since 1923.
Sorry I offended you. Fla is filled with fine Americans. In fact as a percentage there are more woke idiots in my state. Florida Has saved the Nation in several key elections. However Theres a meme out there that the craziest stories seem to come out of Florida and again I meant no offense.
Boytoi? I am probably older than you.
