Authorities say a woman tried to set her ex-boyfriend’s home on fire with him inside after he got a protective order against her. Brianna Elizabeth Tate is charged with attempted arson, reckless endangerment and other counts. Authorities say Tate smashed a window at her ex-boyfriend’s home on Monday and then poured gasoline from a plastic container onto the home’s interior and exterior. Tate allegedly used a lighter in a bid to spark the blaze but failed. Tate’s former boyfriend called police and gave them her description. Officers soon spotted her walking nearby and took her into custody.
