A woman who wanted to take revenge on her former boyfriend for a breakup by setting his house on fire ended up burning someone else’s.
A foreign news agency reported the bizarre incident happened in the Gold Hill community in Northern Carolina state in the United States.
The authorities stated a house owner saw Christie Louise Jones trying to set the house ablaze. A jug of oil – used to start the fire – and wood was on the front porch.
The deputies added the owner saw there were burning pieces of wood near the propane tank. He tried to use the garden hose to douse the flames through a garden hose but could not do so as she used sealant to block water.
