Harlan County Woman Charged With Setting Fires
Kentucky State Police arrested 61 year old Rosetta Stanton Tuesday and lodged her in the Harlan County Detention Center on a $12,000 bond. Trooper James Earl Hensley alleges he witnessed her walking down the road near her home, setting fires about every ten feet, resulting in 20 ft. waves of flames which burned several acres and put homes in danger. Stanton was charged with willfully setting fires and first-degree wanton endangerment.
