Wasn't she caught a while back soaking her dog in gasoline?
That was actually from this same incident!
According to the testimony of
the man who first found her, she was stripping off her pants after accidentally setting them on fire during the escapade. She had her gasoline-soaked Pomeranian with her at the time, and apparently ran off while the guy was stomping out the fire and asking people to call 911 so she could head to the liquor store down the block (still pantsless) to wash the dog off.
So she comes back and the first guy to find her suddenly recognizes her (they went to high school together), and when she went to jump in a cab he tried to stop her. She threatened to call the police on him and sped off, but his 911 call beforehand meant that the cops showed up soon after and found her.
Apparently she's been estranged from her parents recently (for obvious reasons) and they live around the block from where the fire was started.
