LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – A Clearlake woman has been taken into custody for setting a Sunday morning fire in Lucerne.
Kristina Loraine Doll, 25, is charged in the case, according to Bruce Lang, a fire prevention specialist for Cal Fire.
Shortly before 11 a.m. Sunday Cal Fire and Northshore Fire responded to a vegetation fire at Highway 20 and Rancho Vista Road in Lucerne, Lang said.
Lang said fire personnel quickly extinguished the 10-foot by 10-foot spot, measuring approximately one-tenth of an acre.
About an hour later, just after noon, Cal Fire law enforcement officers arrested Doll on a felony charge of burning of a forest as a result of malicious arson, Lang said. Cal Fire was assisted by the California Highway Patrol.
Doll, whose profession is listed on her booking sheet as unemployed, was booked into the Lake County Jail about half an hour after her Sunday afternoon arrest, with bail set at $50,000.
She remained in custody on Tuesday, the same day she was scheduled for arraignment in Lake County Superior Court, according to booking records.
Jail records show that Doll has had previous arrests for obstructing officers and disorderly conduct involving alcohol.
Doll’s arrest was the second for arson local authorities reported making over the weekend.
On Saturday, the Clearlake Police Department arrested Adam Joseph Miller, 28, of Clearlake for a fire on Dam Road Saturday evening that threatened the Cache Creek Apartment complex, as Lake County News has reported.
