Police arrested a Tulsa woman with a gas can after they say she set her ex-husband's vehicles on fire. Katherine Hamilton is in the Tulsa County Jail on a complaint of fourth-degree arson.

A tow-truck driver spotted the fire in the 2200 block of South Memorial Drive at about 1:15 a.m. Monday, an arrest report states. He told police he saw Hamilton get into her car and drive away.

Police got her tag number and pulled her over, finding the gallon jug of gasoline in her car, according to the report.

Officers say she "attempted to willfully and maliciously set fire to two vehicles" parked at her ex-husband's address. The vehicles were parked about three feet from the house.

The Tulsa Fire Department responded to the call.

Hamilton, 62, is being held on a $20,000 bond.
