" BURNING LOVE "

Kristen Gilliam was desperate to win back her boyfriend after being unceremoniously dumped by him. But she didn't send him love letters, but him pricey gifts or beg for a second chance---she burned down his house ! And it wasn't an act of revenge---she figured if she set fire to his place, he'd have nowhere to live, and he'd have to live with her, says Fire Narshal John Paul Erskine. "Talk about crazy," continued Erskine . I've been doing this job for 12 years, and I've never had a case like this before. " It's bazarre to say the least."
But Kristen loopy scheme backfired on her. Her stunned boyfriend wants nothing to do with her---and she's now being charged with arson ! Kristen, 34, a dispatcher with the Burnet County Sheriff's Office in Burnet, Texas, had been dating Scott Keese, also, 34, who works as a deputy sheriff in the same department. Authorities say they broke up on August 16th. "They're had a fight and he said he didn't want to see her anymore ," said Burnet fire marshal Erkine. But, say authorities, later that night, while Scott was working, flames mysteriously erupted at his $160,000, 3 bedroom single story home. "The fire caused $114,000 in damages," said Erskine, four police officers got smoke inhalation pretty bad and had to be transported to the hosiptal. The four injured officers had gone into the burning house to rescue "Arnold" Scott's beloved English bulldog, who was found in a closet , gasping for air. Fortunately, the fire department had a canine oxygen mask, which saved "Arnold's" life, says Erkine.
Investigators quickly determined the blaze was started by an arsonist who held a lighter to the foam cushions of the couch. Because of the recent breakup, Kristen was suspect #1. Twice in the past, they'd broken up, but then something bad would supposedly happen to her where she would need a knight in shining armor to come to her rescue, said Erskine. One time, she was allegedly the victim of a home invasion. Another time , she...claimed she was hit by a hit-and-run driver. Neither incident turned out to be true. Both incidents happened after they'd had a fight and split up, but as a result of what she said, they got back together again. Kristen was figuring: ' Heck, I'm good at this stuff. I'll burn his house down, and we'll get back together again because he'll have nowhere to stay ! ' But Kristen wasn't as clever as she'd imagined. On August ,26th, cops arrested her and charged her with arson, and she's facing 20 years in jail if she's convicted. Scott was stunned when he learned who burned down his house--and he's finally washed his hands of Kristen for good. Scott gets it, said Erskine."HE's
DONE."
My take on this : Kristen is a very sick and disturbed woman that was begging for help. Some people , especially women don't take rejection well when they have a fixation on a person . All the things Kristen was doing when Scott would quit her, should have sent up "RED FLAGS" . Kristen knew no bounds on gettin Scott back. Scott's home was badly burned, his dog almost died, next Scott may have lost his life. But thankful it didn't come to that and I hope Kristen get the help she needs.....But hey, that's just me.
