Arsonist given prison threat after setting fire to cars and bungalow
A TEENAGER who admitted setting fire to two cars and a bungalow has been warned she could go to jail.
Danielle Sheppey yesterday pleaded guilty to a charge of arson, being reckless as to whether life was endangered.
Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court heard the 19-year-old, of Foxt Road, Foxt, admit setting fire to a Peugeot 206 car belonging to Sarah Faulkner, a Rover MG car belonging to Ricky Ratcliffe and a bungalow in Tean Road, Cheadle, on August 30.
Judge Paul Glenn adjourned the case for pre-sentence and psychiatric reports.
And he extended the defendant's bail, with conditions not to contact the witnesses or enter Tean Road in Cheadle.
But Judge Glenn told Sheppey that all sentencing options, including custody, remained open.
