The 19-year-old admitted to setting two fires in the store after midnight to serve as a diversion. Police say that she was visible on surveillance cameras setting a rack of jeans and some birdseed on fire.
Setting birdseed on fire is more complex than we would have thought: Walmart had to call in experts from the U.S. Department of Agriculture to determine which items on the animal-feed shelf were safe to sell.
