Columbus Arson Arrest
A 27-year-old woman has been arrested, accused of starting a fire at the house she rents in Columbus.
Authorities say Ebtihal Albaiaty was arrested at the scene early Monday morning.
Columbus Fire Chief Dean Hefti says Albaiaty lived alone in the house and was not injured by the blaze, which took firefighters about an hour to extinguish.
A Platte County jailer said Albaiaty remained in custody on Tuesday. Online court records don't list the case. It's unclear whether Albaiaty has a lawyer.
