Prosecutor: Woman set fire to church due to unrequited love

On Monday, Louisa County Commonwealth's Attorney Tom Garrett announced that Felicia Armstrong, 51, has pleaded guilty to the arson and burglary of St. John Baptist Church. The crime occurred in January and caused $22,000 in damages to the structure.

According to Garrett, the woman was upset after her romantic pursuit of a firefighter ended in failure. The man attended services at the church.

Armstrong has also been charged in several other fires.

Garrett told reporters: “I cannot conceive why someone would burn any building much less a place of worship. Her efforts to obtain attention of her love interest were misguided, criminal and absolutely wrong.”

Armstrong will be sentenced on July 18, and faces up to 30 years in prison.
