The details
According to the Douglas County Sheriff's Office report, deputies had responded earlier in the evening to a verbal disturbance between Green and another victim, both of whom were highly intoxicated. The deputies assisted Green back to her trailer in an effort to keep the two parties separated for the night. However, around 10:30 pm, fire personnel requested law enforcement assistance regarding a fire they had extinguished at the same location. Deputies found the victims' trailer had been damaged by a fire, with plastic and other materials surrounding it burned. The second victim was inside watching TV when the fire started, and the first victim returned home to get them away from the burning trailer. Green was found near the scene and admitted to the first victim that she had started the fire.
