A woman tried to burn down the house of a long-time friend who defriended her on Facebook, police say.
Jennifer Christine Harris, 30, of Des Moines, Iowa, has been charged with first-degree arson and is being held in the Polk County Jail.
Harris allegedly tried to torch the home of old friend Nikki Rasmussen while Nikki and her husband Jim were sleeping.
The fire broke out in a detached garage at 1am on October 27 at the Rasmussens' home, officials said.
The police report says the fire caused a popping sound which was followed by a 'boom.'
The couple were woken up by sound and they managed to escape as the siding on their house started melting from the heat of the fire in the garage.
The roof of the garage collapsed on the cars parked inside and other items stored there were ruined.
No one was injured in the blaze, but the garage was destroyed
