'He is mad because he can’t get with me. I am married to my husband'

An alleged victim of arson revealed on live television that she knows who attempted to burn down her house.

The Trumbull County Fire Investigation Unit is investigating the cause of the fire which began in a garage before spreading and damaging two houses in Leavittsburg, Ohio.

During a live morning news report in Youngstown, Ohio, homeowner Heather Tenney told WKBN that she knew who set fire to her property.

“It was cause of my cousin and I don’t want to mention no names. He is mad because he can’t get with me. I am married to my husband,” she said.

"It's a long story. Just to make it short, yeah, he already put him in the hospital once last month and he figured he's gonna do something else to get back."

VICE reported on the allegations and gracefully summed up the revelation.

“At that point, [the reporter] gets all ‘back to you in the studio,’ and wraps up the interview. Presumably that was so he could rush home and write a Tracy Letts-style play about the Tenney family before someone else wins that Pulitzer prize.”

Ms Tenney's husband also told the station that his tractors and generators in the garage were destroyed in the fire — the couple also said that they do not have insurance. Fortunately, no one was hurt in the fire.
