(AP) Authorities say a 51-year-old woman has been charged with setting fire to her own house in Davenport.
Donna Jones is scheduled to be arraigned Oct. 25 on two counts of insurance fraud and one of arson. A court affidavit says Jones was the last person at the house on May 6 when the fire began about 7 p.m.
The affidavit says Jones later made false statements to investigators and her insurer regarding the fire and her insurance claims.
A public phone listing for Jones couldn't be found. Her attorney, Steve Hanna, told The Associated Press on Monday that Jones denies the arson and fraud allegations.
