After two months of investigation, a Nome woman has been charged with arson and assault after allegedly setting fire to her apartment complex.
Kandie Allen, 34, faces seven felony charges. Investigators said Allen intentionally set her Third Avenue apartment building on fire at the end of September.
The fire displaced all the building’s tenants. Allen is charged with five third-degree assaults after she “recklessly placed another person in fear of imminent serious physical injury by means of a dangerous instrument,” according to charging documents.
Allen went to the hospital after the fire, where she was “unruly and attempted to kick, punch and bite multiple people inside the emergency room,” court documents say.
Police say Allen’s blood alcohol level at the time was .315, which is about four times the legal limit.
