GARDEN GROVE
Police arrested a woman on suspicion of threatening to kill family members, lighting a guest house on fire and domestic violence after she allegedly chased her estranged husband with a butcher knife, then took off with their 3-year-old child, police said Tuesday. Maraina Michelle Desimone, 33, was apparently irate Monday evening when her 35-year-old husband refused to patch up their marriage, said Garden Grove Police Sgt. Scott Watson. She allegedly used gasoline to set a guest house on fire and told her husband he would never see their child again. Police arrested Desimone on Tuesday morning.
