Redwood City, Calif- Jacqueline Alexandra Rivera, an 18-year-old California woman, was jailed after she allegedly broke into her boyfriend’s house and attempted to set him on fire.

In retaliation, Rivera allegedly broke into her boyfriend’s home at around 3 a.m., entered his room and set his mattress on fire.

Rivera fled the scene before police arrived, however she reportedly showed up later the same day to talk to her boyfriend “about their relationship.”
