A woman from Springfield will be going to trial for allegedly setting fire to the house of someone accused of abusing her in 2023. Alicia Smith will get a bench trial in Green County Court in August of this year.
Smith admitted to setting the fire in the house in February 2023, telling the Fire Marshal that she had been assaulted by a resident of the home and believed that person to still be inside.
She is currently charged with second-degree arson.
