Woman arrested for setting fire to vending machine.



NEW BERN, N.C. – A New Bern woman was arrested after a surveillance camera recorded her setting fire to a vending machine outside a grocery store. According to WCTI, Debra Johnson was arrested Monday in connection with the incident, which occurred shortly before 1:45 a.m. Saturday. Police told the station that Johnson set fire to a soda machine outside the Piggly Wiggly store on Tatum Drive. The incident was recorded by a surveillance camera. The video shows the suspect kicking the machine before lighting the fire. After starting the fire, the suspect grabs a drink from another machine and walks away. Minutes later, flames can be seen shooting from the machine. Authorities say about $35 worth of change melted in the small blaze. Johnson reportedly told the judge in her first court appearance that she didn’t need a lawyer. She was given a second court date slated for next week after refusing to pay a $10,000 bond. WCTI reports Johnson has a criminal history, however this is the first time she’s been charged with a felony.
