Woman Arrested for Arson in Brush Fire That Burns 25 Acres
A Sun Valley woman was arrested Friday on suspicion of arson for allegedly setting a fire that consumed 25 acres of brush, Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies said.
Tammy C. Webster, 22, was arrested in connection with a fire that broke out about 8:45 a.m. on Hasley Canyon Road in Val Verde, said Deputy Britta Tubbs. No structures were damaged in the fire.
There are no clues linking Webster to the disastrous brush fires that recently swept through Southern California, Tubbs said, but the investigation is continuing. “It’s just too soon to tell” whether she was involved in the other fires, Tubbs said.
Witnesses spotted Webster’s vehicle leaving the scene of the fire, Tubbs said, and wrote down a description of her car and its license plate number.
