As the fire rages, she spent the rest of the day enjoying the fabulous Florida sunshine.
But at a subsequent staff meeting, she mentioned that the fire started in the filing cabinet. Unfortunately for Lady Perrino, this was a little bit too much information, since neither firefighters nor management had actually told the staff where the fire started.
Perrino quit her job as a customer service rep two days later. But that didn't stop those pesky investigators from nosing around. An interview with a former roommate revealed the our 40-year-old heroine had a history of using ingenious sabotage to bolt work early.
In one incident, she tripped the main breaker so the office would lose power. In another, she sabotaged the phones so no calls could come in. That allowed her to still get paid for leaving work instead of burning vacation.
Alas, Perrino pleaded to a lesser charge of mischief and only has to do nine months in the slam. But she does have to pay Bayonet Point $4,800 in restitution, and she's been ordered to stay away from its employees.
