Gail J. Metwally of Cecil County, Maryland was arrested Thursday after she set her OWN house on fire, while somebody was still inside, after which she sat on the front lawn in a chair smiling watching the whole thing unfold.
Video shows Metwally arguing with a man wearing a tank top and a woman in a pink shirt before it cuts, and the narrator describes Metwally lighting a trash can on fire.
As flames appear, Metwally can be seen sitting in a lawn chair in the front yard with what appeared to be a book in her lap. The narrator can be heard saying, "I cannot actually believe my eyes. I cannot actually believe it. And she's sitting there, just chilling, watching the house go up in flames."
Metwally walked away from the scene before authorities could arrive, though according to Law & Crime, Cecil County deputies were able to apprehend her after seeing her lingering in the area.
Metwally shared the home with three other individuals.
She is now facing charges of first- and second-degree attempted murder, first-degree arson, first-degree assault, two counts of malicious burning in the first degree, two counts of malicious destruction of property, and two counts of reckless endangerment.
