TX Woman Burns Boyfriend’s Clothes, Fire Spreads to 13 Apartments

On another episode of: love makes people do crazy things, a woman from Houston nearly burned down an entire apartment complex after arguing with her boyfriend.

I’m not sure what could lead a woman to set an apartment complex on fire, but I’ve always heard love makes you do crazy things. A messy argument led Crystal Randall to go out on her balcony, fire up the BBQ pit, and set her boyfriend's clothes on fire.

Eventually, Randall calmed down enough to put out the fire, but she would soon find out that she had made a mistake. Randall had no idea that the fire would rekindle on its own and spread. The flames eventually crept up into the attic and began to spread like wildfire.

Mario Thompson witnessed the apartment complex become engulfed in flames and told a news outlet, "It spread way over here, the roof had caved in. It was like stuff falling off the back. I'm like, 'Dang.'"

What started on a single balcony spread to 13 other apartments that had a mixture of fire, smoke, or water damage. One unit on the second floor even collapsed onto the first floor. With all the damage done, thankfully, no one was injured.

The question still remains: what in the world could her boyfriend have done to release such intense fury from this one woman? Police are still investigating the situation, but for now, Crystal Randall has been charged with reckless arson.
