Woman Accused of Using a Molotov Cocktail to Settle Argument

A 28-year-old woman is accused of tossing a Molotov cocktail into a Pontiac family’s home early Sunday while their three children were there, according to a WXYZ-TV report.

Oakland County Sheriff’s deputies arrived at the house in the 30 block of Clarence Street at about 2:45 a.m., finding a broken window caused by the crude, improvised incendiary, the report stated. Deputies found that the Molotov cocktail was made up of a bottle filled with an unknown, probably flammable substance and a paper-towel wick, which was partially burned, the report added.

The husband at the house said his wife and the woman had clashed previously, and the women threaten to hurt his wife and burn down their house, the report stated.

The woman was taken into custody while deputies were responding to a report of a suicidal woman who turned out to be the suspect in the earlier Molotov incident, the report stated. She also had several outstanding warrants and is being held in Oakland County jail, the report added.
