MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A Tennessee woman has been taken into custody and charged with setting fire to her ex-boyfriend’s bed while he, his girlfriend, and his girlfriend’s baby were sleeping.
According to a probable cause affidavit, police and firefighters responded to a 911 call regarding a fire in the 6100 block of Park Grove during the evening of March 1, 2023.
Upon arrival, first responders discovered the fire had been quickly extinguished by a man soon after it started. The unnamed victims — a male adult, a female adult as well as the woman’s baby — were not injured.
