Woman Arrested Near Florence For Attempting To Light Truck On Fire
Lane Co. Sheriff's Office
On March 28th at about 12:40 p.m., a Lane County Sheriff’s deputy responded to a reported arson on Sutton Outlet Road near Florence. A person running in the area returned to their vehicle and found a sock burning in the gas tank cap. He was able to extinguish it, and fire responded to ensure it was extinguished. The victim had also observed a female, later identified as Elizabeth Louise Jeffery, 33, of Texas, walking away from his vehicle.
A US Forest Service employee was in the area, and Jeffery climbed on top of their vehicle. The deputy and an Oregon State Trooper were able to convince Jeffery to get down, and found she was in possession of a sock that matched the burnt one.
After additional investigation, Jeffery was arrested for Arson in the 1st Degree and lodged at the Lane County Jail.
