Police: Woman whose car was towed set police car ablaze
COATESVILLE, Pa. (AP) — Authorities say a woman whose car was towed after a weekend traffic stop near Philadelphia is accused of having set fire to one of the city’s police cars and trying to ignite other vehicles. Chester County prosecutors say an officer spotted a police vehicle on fire in the Coatesville police parking lot shortly after 8:30 p.m. Sunday. He put it out and then noticed a trail of fluid to other vehicles. Police said video surveillance captured the incident and the suspect had been stopped earlier that day and her car towed. She faces arson and attempted arson counts.
