According to Fox News, Christen Marie McAllister was arrested on suspicion of arson after authorities responded to the fire. The incident reportedly took place on February 18 in off-campus housing at the University of Louisville.
McAllister reportedly confessed to setting the furniture on fire. No one was hurt.
The 22-year-old competed in the Miss Kentucky USA pageant last month, and placed fifth. According to a GoFundMe page, it was McAllister’s second time competing in the Miss Kentucky pageant; the previous year, she placed in the top 15.
Louisville Metro Police Department told Wave3 that McAllister’s confession was recorded on a body camera. It is unclear if she is currently in custody.
