The Nassau County Sheriff’s Office arrested Mary Christina Jones, 42, on alleged arson and possession of methamphetamine charges. Police say she set her hotel room on fire, and a contraband screen showed that she had an object inside her vaginal area.
Deputies responded to the Holiday Terrace Motel at 552428 US-1 after a fire was reported in one of the hotel rooms, police say. Nassau Fire Rescue extinguished the fire, and the room was found to be unoccupied.
The complainant told police that Jones was renting the room where the fire was believed to have originated. Jones was later located and arrested, according to the Nassau County Sheriff’s Office.
Upon arrival at the Nassau County Detention Facility, Jones was screened for contraband using an x-ray. Detention facility personnel discovered that Jones “appeared to have a foreign object(s) in her vaginal area," the report said.
