Police: Mosquito Problem Led Woman To Set House On Fire

GADSDEN, Ala. -- It's not exactly the ideal way to get rid of pesky mosquitos.

But a 59-year-old Gadsden woman apparently grew tired of dealing with the problem that she blamed on a house next door. Her solution, according to police, was to used an accelerate and set fire to the dwelling, which was empty.

She had claimed the owner and city officials refused to address the problem.

For her trouble, Sherry Simmons now faces a second-degree arson charge.

No word on the extent of the fire damage.
