She waived her right to a preliminary hearing on charges of arson – danger of death or bodily injury, reckless burning or exploding – places/property having value that exceeds $5,000, arson endangering property – reckless endangerment of inhabited buildings, terroristic threats and simple assault.
West Newton police charged Warman after she was found around 5:30 p.m. April 6 in the backyard of John L. Palamara’s South Sixth Street home, where the fire was reported, according to an affidavit of probable cause.
