That must have been one hell of a spider.
According to UPI, Ginny Griffith is in deep shit after she accidentally set her side of a duplex on fire early Friday morning while attempting to kill … wait for it … a spider.
Griffith told Hutchinson police that she set several towels on fire with a cigarette lighter in an effort to kill the eight-legged critter. She was hoping that she would be able to cover the spider with one of the flaming towels and burn it to death.
It took five units of the Hutchinson Fire Department to control the blaze, but they were able to quickly contain it. Luckily, nobody was injured and the building suffered only minor smoke damage.
Hutchinson police arrested the 34-year-old buffoon and charged her with aggravated arson since the other side of the duplex was occupied.
It couldn’t be confirmed if she had some kind of nuclear device ready to be detonated in the unlikely event of a small mouse running across the kitchen floor.
Hey, at least she didn’t pin the spider down and attempt to have sex with it in front of her neighbors: Florida Man Had Sex With His Pit Bull in Front of His Neighbors
