Florida Woman Tries To Set Police Car On Fire With Deputy Inside

A Florida Woman in Broward County has been arrested after attempting to set a police car on fire with the deputy inside.

The Broward Sheriff's Office said the deputy was stopped at an intersection in her marked vehicle when 25-year-old Toni Carr walked up to the car, started banging on the window and broke off the driver's side mirror. She then walked to the back of the car, opened the gas tank, took the gas cap off, stuffed a lottery ticket inside and then proceeded to use a lighter to set it on fire.

Local10 reports the deputy got out of her vehicle unharmed and arrested Carr right there. It's not known why the Florida woman tried to set the police car on fire, maybe her lottery ticket was a loser?

Either way, she's now facing charges of aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer, attempted arson, criminal mischief, and a felony charge for violation of probation.
