Arsonist/Stripper caught by potato

I know the author of the article, so I thought it would be a funny one to post in the Lounge.

DNA Left On A Potato Helps State Police Solve An Arson They Say Was Set By An Angry Stripper

DNA recovered from a potato that was stuffed into the tailpipe of a Naugatuck man's van was the clue that helped state police detectives solve a Prospect arson they say was set by a wrathful stripper.

Willow Martin, 19, of Naugatuck, who police say helped set the fire that destroyed MTM Masonry and the Golden Wok Chinese restaurant on Sept. 15, 2015, was arraigned Wednesday on a variety of charges, including arson, and remains in custody in lieu of $110,000 bail at the women's prison in Niantic.

that the article is exactly a year old. The writer of the article must have re-posted it from his Facebook memories.
