LONGVIEW, WA (KPTV) -- A Longview woman going through a divorce is accused of starting a fire in the home she still shares with her husband.

Longview police arrested Julie Kell, 42, Friday night.

Officers said she was intoxicated and mad at her husband when she set fire to their garage on Terumi Lane.

Investigators said the suspect sent her husband text messages threatening to start the fire. He drove home and on the way spotted fire trucks heading to his house, according to police.

Officers arrived at around 8:20 p.m. Friday and arrested Kell. She was first taken to the hospital, according to police, because of her level of intoxication.

No one was hurt in the fire and it did not spread to the house. The garage was badly damage, but no cars were inside at the time.

Police said the couple rents the home.

Kell is charged with first-degree arson.

I couldn't help but laugh when I read the line "...the couple rents the home." Only a woman would think burning a home down that belongs to someone else is a good idea when trying to get back at your soon-to-be ex.

I hope he has some divorce paperwork in the court's hands if the laws in WA are anywhere near like they are in mine. Once the paperwork for a divorce starts, all monetary shared (existing) responsibility is frozen in place. All new debt is the responsibility of the party who created it. Meaning, she alone would have to cover the damages.

      Cheap labour, the same as the U.K. China pays their people pittance.

      Those people that come over here on boats are already in a safe country, if they want to come over here then do so correctly though the right channels. I was born in the U.K, my family that came over here came so via the proper means. My partner came here via the correct channels, she also became a British citizen, she knows more about this country than most of them that was born here, including myself, she worked hard to do what she does. She will stick up for this country and have done a few times, when people from her own part of world have put the U.K down. We are not going to agree, all I said to start with is that maybe Trump has the right idea with this America first thing and maybe we should start doing the same. Maybe not as drastic as what he is doing, but we do need to sort this country out, we need to sort out tech instead of relying on the U.S and others. Again you have not shown why you are so annoyed that we have left the E.U and this is what it is all about? If you don't live in the U.K and live in the E.U are you annoyed that we left your little club? If you live in the U.K and is pro-E.U, then fair enough then I can see how it annoys you. Are you one of these people who lives in the U.K and have a holiday chalet in the E.U and can now only stay there for so long? If so, then that is bad luck. As I have posted before, I have no problem with people coming here to work, as long as they do if via the proper channels. We are out of the E.U, people voted out, and maybe if more people had voted instead of sitting on their backsides the results would have been different. But they like the E.U and our government thought no we would not vote to leave. How wrong they were, surprised me. I expected to wake up in the morning and hear on the radio that we voted to stay. As I said, we are out and have been for 10 years, we are not going to go back in anytime soon if we ever do, so we all need to make the best of how things are. Anyway, this is supposed to be a tech site.

      Tim Cook: "The US over time began to stop having as many vocational kinds of skills." What's the point of wasting time getting those skills if you can't get a job with them? Good Lord, maybe he and his cohort of CEO's who exported all these jobs to China should just shut the f**k up :D
