A Texas woman started a fire in her home with her infant daughter inside, then sent pictures of the blaze to her boyfriend, police said.
Israel Reyes, 18, was fighting with her boyfriend March 2 and became increasingly destructive throughout the day, culminating in a fire that she started in the kitchen that evening, according to WLWT.
"The picture showed a purple towel and a roll of toilet paper on fire," the affidavit read. "A few minutes later (the boyfriend) received another text with a picture of the same fire in a larger state of combustion."
Firefighters arrived at the home, extinguished the fire and determined Reyes had intentionally set it, according to WLWT.
Reyes was arrested and charged Tuesday with endangering a child and arson, according to WLWT. She was held in jail on $30,000 bond.
