A Tallahassee woman has been arrested on charges of torching a car outside a local hotel where her husband was staying, State Fire Marshal investigators said today. The car was registered to a Georgia woman who was also a guest at the hotel. Lab results determined gasoline was used to set two separate fires on the vehicle, one on the driver's side rear bumper, and one on the driver's side hood next to the windshield. Parked next to the burned vehicle was a car rented to the suspect's husband, that invesigators say showed evidence of vandalism with sugar in the gas tank.
Britt is charged with second degree arson and injury due to arson.
A firefighter sustained a minor injury responding to the fire.
