Woman Causes $100k in Self-Storage Damage Burning Ex-Beau's Clothes

A woman set fire to her ex-boyfriend's clothing at Community Storage Lockers in Anderson, Ind., on Wednesday night, causing more than $100,000 in damages, not including the contents of the buildings, police said. Officers arrested Donna J. Duell, 26, on suspicion of arson.
 
Duell at first denied any involvement but then admitted she took her ex-boyfriend's clothing to an empty storage unit, set it ablaze and walked away, Anderson Police Detective Randy Tracy said. Duell told him the two were involved in a "bitter domestic dispute."
 
Security codes indicated Duell had been the last person to storage center at 8:02 p.m., and she left nine minutes later. Firefighters received the first report of the blaze at 8:24 p.m.
Duell was released from the Madison County Jail after posting $20,000 bond Thursday.
