A woman who told police she was “stressed” over a recent fire at her apartment and “because of the death of Michael Jackson”, has been arrested for setting fire to a restroom at a Lorain bar.

According to Detective Sgt. Mark Carpentiere of the Lorain Police Department, at 1:25 a.m. Sunday morning, police arrived at Bootleggers Bar, 538 Broadway Avenue after receiving a call that someone had set fire to the women’s bathroom.

A bartender told police, Amanda Jarvis, came running out of the restroom and told him the restroom was on fire.

According to Carpentiere, the arresting officer asked Jarvis if she knew why the officer had been called to the area. She stated that it was because she had started a fire in the bar’s restroom. When asked why she set the items on fire, she replied, “I felt stressed because my apartment had recently caught on fire, and because of the death of Michael Jackson”.

Oddly, she had been drinking at the time. Coincidence?

    I have to say, that reporter (Kathleen Cochrane) is pretty damn good looking. She reminds me of Cameron Diaz.

    BTW, big difference setting “a bathroom on fire” from what really happened.

    Seems like appropriate material for FOX news viewers.

    I’m experiencing “Michael Jackson Death Reporting Stress Syndrome”

    I’m getting sick and damn tired of the non-stop reporting of a story that is 5 days old and hasn’t changed.

    Michael Jackson is still dead, and he is not getting any deader, so stop dragging this story on, and get on with some real news!!
