Kansas Woman charged with arson for setting small fire to kill spider

A 34-year-old Hutchinson woman was arrested early Friday after five Hutchinson Fire Department units were called out at 1:36 a.m. to extinguish a small fire in her half of a duplex at 121 W. Seventh Ave. Deputy Fire Chief Doug Hanen said in a press release that firefighters found light smoke coming from the woman’s half of the duplex and some clothing smoldering just inside the doorway. They found multiple other points of origin for the fire and brought it under control within minutes, Hanen said.
