LEWISTON, Maine — A 21-year-old Lewiston woman faces charges, including arson and assault, after twice trying to ignite her boyfriend’s possessions with Molotov cocktails and leading officers on two separate chases, ending in her arrest about 7:15 p.m. Tuesday night in Poland.
Lewiston police were called to the area of Walnut and Pierce streets about 6 p.m. after a report that Heather Kullson had tried starting a fire using a lit rag and a container with a flammable liquid, Lewiston Police Lt. Michael McGonagle said.
“Cruisers arrived minutes later and pursued Kullson through nearby streets to the Maine Turnpike. When the chase reached the highway, cruisers called off the pursuit and returned to the scene,” McGonagle said.
“Then, she came back,” he said.
Kullson again tried to start a fire with the improvised incendiary and police took chase. This time, police followed her onto the turnpike, where they were joined by Maine State Police.
Kullson left the highway in Auburn and drove at high speeds along Hotel Road and Kittyhawk Avenue before her arrest in Poland.
During the chase, police tried but failed to stop Kullson’s Honda Civic with spike mats. In the rush to deploy the mats, tires on at least two cruisers were damaged, McGonagle said.
Kullson is facing two charges each of eluding police and arson. She also faces a charge of aggravated domestic violence.
Her boyfriend told police she used her car to run over his foot earlier in the day, McGonagle said.
She is being held at the Androscoggin County Jail on $25,000 cash bail.
I am pretty sure this is not what Elvis meant when he sang about “Burning Love”.
“Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turned / Nor hell a fury like a woman scorned.” ~ William Congreve (1697)… Man, what the heck did he do?
Maybe he didn’t really do anything, maybe she’s just a nut case?
Very true!
Usually the case.
Did someone make up this entire story? Is this April 1? This has to be a sick joke. Especially about the spike mats.
Sometimes a women can only take so much…..
Enough what? This ain’t about all that, partner.
Enough of the daily >c r a p> that some of people are handed in life on a daily basis.
Not saying she was justified just perhaps got to the end of her rope and couldn’t tie a knot in it.
Some imaginary rope — one that somehow implies the guy was the villain and she finally had enough, ya mean? Seems to be where you were trying to go with this, but that’s not always the case
You read me wrong . I just made a simple observation based on life experience. People can take just so much for whatever reasons and they spill over.
I never expressed myself in such a manner but I have had to tie the end of my rope into many knots over a lifetime.
Hell hath no fury like a woman —-
She seems rather “excitable”
Bad hair day?
I see the sexist have a lot to say!
Cops called of the chase when she hit the turnpike !! ??
What the #$%& is going on ?
clear open road with plenty of chance to ram/pit maneuver
and gain control of the situation.
And The Law goes belly up ??
Attention Bad Guys : take the turnpike for a smooth getaway.
Just dont go back to the crime scene.
Sounds like the law needs a refresher course on Spike Mats 101.
Too many moving parts ?
Tough being a cop these days.
I bet she likes the Alabama Black Snake and Allen’s.
Wow, talk about FATAL ATTRACTION….this dude should run far away from this psycho…
I think we should introduce this lady to the gentleman who attacked the police cruiser with his face. Love is in the air, I’m feeling it.
