Woman Suspected of Starting Fire at Lincoln Home

arsonLINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Authorities suspect a Lincoln woman set fire to the home of her estranged husband.

Police say the woman and her husband are divorcing. She was arrested after her husband reported to police that she broke in through a window and started a fire in a bedroom. The fire was reported about 5 a.m. Saturday.

Police say the 59-year-old woman likely will face charges of arson and attempted murder. Online court records don’t yet show that she’s been charged.
