Authorities say a woman set fire to a house in Elberfield with the intention of making a social media post.
39-year-old Jennifer York first told police a cleaning liquid accidentally caught fire.
Officers say she later admitted to setting the home’s basement stairs on fire with a homemade incendiary device, and told them she recorded it on video.
According to police, when they arrived, they found York inside the homeowner’s vehicle trying to leave.
With her were the homeowner’s cell phone, cash, and a collection of oatmeal pies taken from the home without permission.
York is in the Warrick County jail with a bond set at $7,505 cash.
