JEFFERSON COUNTY, Colo. (CBS) – Thirty-eight-year-old Christy Jo Sinner used a small lighter to ignite fires in the basement and main floors of her parent’s Littleton home a week ago, according to case documents obtained by CBS4.

Sinner was arrested by police while sitting in a car outside the residence, allegedly about to drive off and buy gasoline to fuel a fire that failed to ignite in the family’s garage, her arrest affidavit reads. Family members speculated Sinner’s tirade was sparked by her unhappiness over sharing the home’s wireless signal with children who were learning remotely from their schools due to COVID-19 restrictions, according to the case documents.
