PO'd GF sets BF's house on fire



From the Associated Press yesterday: 'Trenton authorities say anger over a failed romance fueled a Pennsylvania teen's decision to set fire to the city home where her ex-boyfriend lived."

No one was actually killed in Thursday's fire on Hillcrest Avenue; but 10 people who lived there were left homeless. Nineteen-year-old Shanta Dargbeh of Bristol Township was arrested the next day and now faces 10 felony charges.

Authorities say Dargbeh became angry after hearing that her ex-boyfriend had taken another girl to the Trenton High School prom last weekend. Dargbeh is being held on $250,000 bail.

Is this a girl/woman thing, or are there men who have torched their wandering paramour's houses too? Remember singer Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes of the hit group TLC? She set a fire that that destroyed the house of her boyfriend, football player Andre Rison, in an Atlanta suburb.

Lopes, 24 at the time, started a fire with either his tennis shoes, or cardboard, that eventually engulfed the entire $900,000 mansion after Rison and friends returned from an all-night party, according to contemporary news reports. Lisa died in 2002 at the age of 30 in The Honduras, the only fatality in a car accident in which she was driving.
