A Peace River woman is facing arson charges after a structure fire in connection to a structure fire in the municipality late last week.
Peace Regional RCMP officials say they were called to a structure fire on the corner of 94 Avenue and 98 Street in Peace River just before 5 p.m. on May 9th. As they were enroute, they received a report of an unidentified female screaming and hitting vehicles, as well as throwing rocks at vehicles as they attempted to avoid colliding with her. Police say both of these incidents allegedly occurred within approximately 200 metres from where the fire occurred and only minutes before and after the fire began.
Thanks to tips from the public, as well as CCTV footage, a 36-year-old woman was located just under an hour after emergency responders began working on the structure fire.
The accused is facing charges including arson, mischief and disturbing the peace.
