TYNER, Tenn. (WDEF) —  Police charged a woman this week for an arson that happened three weeks ago.

The investigator says the tenant of the apartment in Tyner told him he had told a Rebekah Wilson that she move out.

He helped load her stuff in a vehicle and waited on her to join him.

At the last moment, he decided to go back inside, even though she told him not to.

He found a hoodie of his was on fire.

Eventually, investigators said there were two fires in the apartment.

Both were knocked down by a sprinkler system.

Wilson faces aggravated arson charges because there were multiple units attached to the apartment in Tyner.
