BRIDGEPORT, W.Va. — A Marion County woman was arrested after police used security footage to identify her setting fire to trash cans at United Hospital Center.
Heather Michelle Jones, 30, of Mannington, allegedly set three trash cans ablaze on the hospital’s campus Tuesday night before leaving the scene. The Bridgeport Fire Department responded at approximately 10 p.m. to douse the fires before they could spread.
Security footage placed Jones at the scene just before the fires started.
Identified at a nearby Sheetz later that night, Jones was arrested and booked at North Central Regional Jail on Wednesday, where her bail was set at $50,000.
In addition to arson, Jones faces a separate charge of fraudulently using an ATM card, according to jail reports.
