An Illinois woman is facing a felony charge after she was accused of setting multiple fires inside a Walmart while the store was crowded with shoppers.

According to reports, the incident happened on New Year’s Eve at a Walmart in Woodstock. Investigators alleged that the woman entered the store during the early evening and went to the camping section, where she placed containers of camping fuel into a shopping cart. She allegedly went to the baby and infant section, returned to the camping aisle for additional fuel, and then went back to the same spot in the store.

Surveillance footage reportedly showed the suspect pouring liquid onto several baby cribs and using matches to ignite them before leaving the store. Employees quickly noticed the fire, and shoppers were evacuated as firefighters responded. The building’s sprinkler system activated and helped contain the flames in the back of the store.

In an ironic twist, the authorities caught three alleged fuel thieves in Central Washington after their truck, which reportedly had multiple stolen items, ran out of gas.

George, Washington (intentionally named after the former President), is an unincorporated town in Grant County. Its 1.3 square miles are home to just over 800 people. On the morning of January 30, multiple items went missing from a local farm, and the authorities were notified about the purported theft. They learned that someone nearby saw a pickup truck drive by that looked like it came from the farm, and they wrote down the license plate number before it was out of sight.

Deputies from the Grant County Sheriff’s Office collected the information, and they were later informed that the farm was missing 100 gallons of diesel gasoline and several car batteries. They began searching the surrounding area for a vehicle matching the description of the pickup truck. Around 7:15 AM, about 2 miles from the farm, three people in a truck stopped in a residential driveway when the vehicle ran out of gas. They asked for help from the man at the home, and he quickly recognized the truck had the same license plate number and appearance as the one seen near the farm. The homeowner called the authorities, and the deputies headed to his property.
