Things got a bit heated at a Walmart in Massachusetts recently, after a employee allegedly set three fires inside the store.
Police responded to the store around 5:25 p.m. on Tuesday after a report of a fire in the store’s jewelry section, MassLive.com reports. When they arrived they found it wasn’t just the one fire — there were three set throughout the store.
“All three fires had been extinguished by Walmart staff and several customers who used the fire extinguishers that were located throughout the store,” police said, adding that no one was injured.
After officials determined that the fires had been deliberately set, the suspect was identified on a surveillance video. She had been seen fleeing, police said, and investigators called her to ask her to come back to the store — but she hung up on them. The next day she turned herself in and was arrested.
She’s now facing three counts of burning a building’s contents, three counts of destruction of property over $250, and one count each of disorderly conduct and disturbing the peace. The store had to close to deal with smoke and fire damage.
