Louisiana woman charged after setting fire inside home with 4 children
A Louisiana woman has been arrested for allegedly pouring gasoline onto a kitchen stove and setting it on fire while her four children were inside the home, according to police. She is also accused of abusing one of the children days earlier.
Shreveport police responded to a home at 1231 Crofton Street at about 10:42 p.m. Saturday after receiving reports of a house fire and a mother attempting to assault her children and chasing them down the street.
Officers found 35-year-old Krystal Bromsey near East Stoner and Rex avenues. The four children who had been inside the home were also located.
Police determined that Bromsey had poured gasoline from a gas-powered weed eater onto the kitchen stove and ignited it while the children were still inside. Officials said the children identified their mother as the person who started the fire.
Police also learned that Bromsey had poured hot water on one of the children several days earlier. She is accused of striking the child with a shoe, a frying pan and her hand.
Bromsey was charged with four counts of cruelty to juveniles and one count each of aggravated arson, domestic abuse battery and criminal neglect of family.
Police did not release additional details about the children or report any injuries from the fire.
