An Addison, Pennsylvania woman faces one felony count of reckless burning or exploding after drunkenly dumping gas and lighting her husband’s truck following a domestic dispute, an inferno she attempted to put out after realizing belatedly she’d gone too far, The Tribune-Democrat reports.
Stacy Lynn Tressler, 42, told state troopers she had an argument with her husband and went to the local watering hole to throw back a few and chill out. Instead she got angrier, and upon returning home she promptly dumped two large red gas cans on the truck and lit it up. “Tressler said she then tried to extinguish the fire, but the flames had consumed the truck. She called her husband who telephoned 911. Addison Township Volunteer firefighters put out the fire,” the Tribune-Dem wrote.
