An arson charge has been laid against a Wallaceburg woman.
Chatham-Kent Police were called to Walmart on McNaughton Avenue just before 4:30 Thursday afternoon.
Authorities say the accused was escorted out of the store following an alleged theft. However, once outside, the woman is said to have lit some shrubs on fire.
The accused was found intoxicated and unable to care for herself.
The 41-year-old was arrested and charged with theft, possession of stolen property, public intoxication, and arson.
She was held in custody until she sobered up, then released with conditions and a date in court next month.
