(Friday, May 5) Wilkes-barre police say an arson fire last month on Blackman Street was an inside job.
They tell us 20 year old Shnequa Gordon started the fire inside her home after she and her boyfriend, Sam Tucker, got into a heated argument.
Detectives say Gordon, who is two months pregnant, drank a bottle of wine and took two Percosets before setting the blaze.
Off camera, Gordon told us quote "I was abused. I was disgruntled. I was tired of getting my face bashed in, but I am innocent".
She also says quote "If I was sober, I would`ve never".
Gordon is being held at the Luzerne County Prison on 25 thousand dollars straight cash bail.
