Connie Huggins, the serial arsonist of Griffin, Georgia
​The first fire came in July at a Griffin, Georgia recycling center. It was followed by eight other blazes involving tool sheds, portable toilets, and out-buildings. So police set up surveillance in the area, hoping to catch the mystery arsonist.

That's when they saw 55-year-old Connie Huggins climb behind shrubs at the Agape Restoration Family Center, a church and community center in Griffin. Moments later, they smelled smoke. Huggins was arrested on arson charges.

Police say these were revenge fires against business who refused to give her money or let panhandle on their property. The recycling center blaze, for example, was part of a vendetta after it wouldn't let her sleep there. But it may also be a case of a woman not exactly in touch with her faculties. Huggins, you see, has been a frequent guest at halfway houses and apparently has an impressive history of drug abuse.
