Nancy Brewer of Miami, Florida was arrested Thursday after she allegedly set fire to her ex-boyfriend's house, news sources indicate. The ex-boyfriend is Miami Officer Travis Lindsey, sources say. Brewer, 25, was booked into the Miami-Dade County Jail on charges of first-degree arson; she has since been transferred to the Broward County Main Jail. Her bail bond was set at $50,000. It is unclear whether she has obtained an attorney.
Reports say Lindsey is a Miami Police road patrol sergeant and, until recently, had been romantically involved with Brewer. However, the couple had recently undergone a breakup. According to reports, Brewer, unhappy with the recent split, allegedly decided to get revenge by setting his house on fire.
Around 6:00 Wednesday morning, Brewer reportedly drove to Lindsey's home on Northwest 14th Court in Lauderhill, armed with a can of gasoline. She arrived at the home and allegedly began spreading flammable liquid around outside of the property. Reports say Brewer fastened some cloth around the front door's knob and set it and several floor mats on fire. Once the blaze started, she allegedly fled the scene. Brewer reportedly called 911 to report the fire, presumably after she fled. Lindsey does not appear to have been injured in the blaze.
Brewer later arrived at the Miami Police Department and admitted to setting Lindsey's home on fire "because she was upset about the status of their relationship," a police report says. Brewer reportedly wishes to remain mum about the charges until she has hired an attorney.
In other news, Jemettie Anne McKeithen, a Palm Beach County Clerk from Sunrise, was arrested Monday after she was accused of using her position with the county office to expunge a suspended license from her record, reports say. McKeithen, 40, was booked into the Broward County Main Jail on two counts of official misconduct and a petty count of theft. Her bail was set at $9,000. It is unclear whether she has hired legal representation.
According to reports, McKeithen held a job processing payments for people paying traffic citation fines at the Palm Beach County Clerk's Office. It is unclear how long she has held that job or how this arrest will affect her position with the office. So far, the county office has not commented on the allegations against McKeithen.
