A woman from Nixa was arrested for first-degree arson after the fire department says she poured gasoline on some clothes, lit a spicy tortilla chip and started a fire at a Greene County home.

“The report states that witnesses inside the house saw Williams pour gasoline from a soda bottle onto clothes and the floor of the laundry room. Williams then lit Takis tortilla chips on fire and tossed them into the laundry room.”

      What a stupid, clickbait headline. The chips had almost nothing to do with the fire.

        Headline isn’t really clickbait. The police really did state that.

        Court documents say Williams admitted to police that she started the fire intentionally. She said she used the chips because she knew they would support combustion because of the grease content.

        That’s what I’m saying! Like, take it easy already, DEA. I had almost nothing to do with that alleged “massive drugs ring”. So what if you say you have a “mountain of evidence”, you don’t see Mt. Everest bragging.
