IRVINE (CBS) — Irvine Police Detectives nabbed a 39-year-old woman Saturday morning for allegedly being a serial arsonist.
Officials say Jana Marie Spires, an Irvine resident for the past year, has started a string of fires on residential and school properties.
The fires reportedly began in July 2010 and were small and set weeks apart, according to authorities.
Fires were set in trash cans, dumpsters, vehicles and at least one garage. Damage, said officials, ranged from minor to the total loss of vehicles.
The investigation was led by Irvine Police detective Barry Miller.
Irvine CSI processed the crime scenes and were able to get DNA from at least three different incidents.
Police said Spires was arrested near Springbook Elementary School in Woodbridge where a stack of pizza boxes had been set on fire, inches from the admin building.
Detectives were able to extinguish the blaze before the building suffered any damage.
Irvine woman charged with five counts of arson
Jana Marie Spires, 38, faces a maximum sentence of nine years in prison if convicted, according to a news release from the Orange County district attorney’s office. Spires, who is being held on $50,000 bail, is scheduled for a pre-trial hearing June 2.
Spires is accused of starting fires in several parked cars in January and April. She is also accused of lighting a flag hanging outside a home and setting a garage on fire on the same day in February.
On Saturday, authorities said, Spires set fire to a stack of pizza boxes at the playground of Springbrook Elementary School in Irvine. An Irvine police officer observed the incident, and an investigation linked Spires to the previous blazes, prosecutors said. She was arrested Monday.
