Tampa Woman Charged With Torching Home In Foreclosure

In Florida, The Tampa Tribune reports:
  • Investigators say Mia Gayshonne Dix was in trouble. The 37-year-old had been fired from her job. Her car had been repossessed. Her home was in foreclosure. So when the house at 3807 N. Highland Ave. caught fire in December, suspicion arose. Dix, who filed an insurance claim on the home in February, was arrested Monday on arson and fraud charges after an investigation on behalf of the insurance company, according to her arrest report.
