A 33-year-old Manhattan woman was arrested Saturday on allegations of aggravated arson and theft following an incident at Burlington in Manhattan.
According to the RCPD, Cheyenne Nicole Ely was arrested just after 8 a.m. on allegations of aggravated arson, attempted unlawful possession of a tool to remove a theft detection device and theft of property or services.
The arrest stems from an incident reported Friday afternoon at Burlington in the 400 block of Third Place, where a female suspect reportedly stole a purse and set fire to a package in an attempt to steal another item.
Ely was issued a total bond of $8,000 and is no longer confined in the Riley County Jail.
