Woman accused of burning down a Conway mobile home. It wasn’t her first arson arrest.
A Conway woman burned down a mobile home in a domestic dispute, according to police reports.
Horry County police arrested Patesha Turner, 33, on Thursday in connection to a fire that burned down a Landmark Road mobile home. She is being held at J. Reuben Long Detention Center on $10,000 bail and charged with arson and domestic violence of a high and aggravated nature.
Police say the victim returned home on May 14 from working around midnight and got into an argument with Turner, according to the arrest report.
Later that morning, the victim walked to a bus stop on Landmark Road and Hallie Martin Road, where Turner tried to hit him with her car, according to a police report.
Turner yelled as she drove away, “I just set your house on fire, you better go put it out,” the report states.
The victim ran back to his house, but the fire was already out of control, according to the report.
In 2019, police arrested Turner on an arson charge. Two weeks before the May incident, she told the same victim that she would burn down his home, according to the arrest report.
If found guilty, Turner faces up to 15 years in prison on the arson charge and up to 10 years on the domestic violence charge.
