DEERFIELD BEACH, Fla. — After a fight, a woman set the front door on fire of the home where she had “recently lived together as a family,” with her ex-boyfriend and his girlfriend, authorities said.
Kaelyn Marie Partenza, 26, of Deerfield Beach, was arrested on Wednesday, along with her ex-boyfriend Brian Morris. She faces two counts of arson first-degree dwelling with people present, and he faces a charge of aggravated assault with a firearm/domestic violence and battery domestic violence.
“I got mad and lit the door on fire,” Partenza told authorities. The incident began when Partenza went to the apartment “to get closure on her relationship with Morris,” the complaint affidavit said. Morris opened the door pointing a handgun at her, and they had a physical fight on the stairs, but being in fear of her life, she ran out and left her belongings on the front porch, the affidavit said.
