Woman accused of setting 6 Council Bluffs fires

COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa (AP) — A Council Bluffs woman has been accused of setting six fires in the western Iowa city.

The Daily Nonpareil (http://bit.ly/1kdmThA ) reports that 25-year-old Rebecca Myers was arrested Wednesday. Authorities suspect her of setting the fires between Oct. 4 and Oct. 20 on or near the 1000 block of Third Avenue. No injuries have been reported in any of the blazes, which include four set in large trash bins.

Pottawattamie County Jail records say Myers remained in custody on Thursday. It's unclear whether Myers has a lawyer who could be contacted to comment on her behalf. Online court records don't yet list the case.
