Des Moines, Iowa
A woman in Des Moines has been arrested after an arson attack on the home of a former friend. The two women allegedly had a quarrel, leading to the Facebook unfriending.
Jennifer Christine Harris, 30, is being held Thursday at Polk County Jail on $100,000 bond on a charge of first-degree arson, a jail spokeswoman said.
She was arrested after the Oct. 27 fire at the Des Moines home of Jim and Nikki Rasmussen. The early-morning fire broke out in the garage of the Rasmussen's home, police and neighbors said, and led to the collapse of the garage roof.
Harris — who was maid of honor at the Rasmussen wedding, according to the Des Moines Register -- is a teacher's associate at a local elementary school.
Nikki Rasmussen told the Register that she and Harris' friendship dissolved when they argued while trying to plan a birthday party for Harris. Harris then began to disparage her on Facebook, she said.
"I unfriended her and blocked her so I couldn't see what she was saying," she told the paper.
The Rasmussens woke up and escaped unharmed from the fire as it began to melt the siding on their house.
