Prosecutors charged a West Jordan woman with arson on Thursday for a fire that occurred in that city in March.
Receipts show the 42-year-old woman bought matches and lighter fluid for the fire at 3836 W. County Drive, according to charges filed in state court. The fire damaged a house. But the papers don't say she ignited the blaze. Instead, two people told an investigator the woman told them to start the fire. She later admitted her role to others, the court documents say.
She is charged with aggravated arson, a felony punishable by as much as life in prison.
