Police say Ohio woman set fires out of anger

[February 05, 2009]  HAMILTON, Ohio (AP) -- Authorities say they have arrested an Ohio woman who told them she set fire to at least 10 homes and garages because she was angry.

Hamilton fire and police officials arrested 42-year-old Gina Ann Gray on Tuesday. She is charged with seven counts of aggravated arson and three counts of arson.

Fire investigator Tom Angst said Gray told authorities she set the fires at homes and garages in Hamilton, about 30 miles north of Cincinnati. The fires occurred between September 2007 and November 2008.

Angst said Gray sometimes sought revenge against people. He said at other times she spotted something flammable near a house, lit it with a lighter and then walked away.

Gray remains in the Butler County Jail. It was not clear whether she had an attorney.
