Woman accused to setting fire to mobile home

The State Fire Marshal’s Office says last week's arrest of a Morgan City woman on arson charges resulted from a fire at her estranged husband's mobile home.
Monique Barrilleaux, 37, was booked May 25 into the Morgan City Jail on one count of simple arson, according to a State Fire Marshal’s Office release.
In the evening hours of May 13, the Morgan City Police Department requested the State Fire Marshal’s Office help with investigating a fire at a mobile home in the 2300 block of Clements Street.
After an assessment of the scene, deputies determined three different fires were set intentionally around the mobile home, the agency said.
During the investigation, deputies learned Barrilleaux was the sole resident of the mobile home at the time of the fire, though it is owned by her estranged husband.
Following additional investigative efforts, including obtaining witness statements about the night of the fire, a warrant was issued for Barrilleaux’s arrest in connection with the fire.
On May 25, Morgan City Police located Barrilleaux and took her into custody on the outstanding warrant.
