VIDEO: A Spokane woman who previously admitted to setting fires in Spokane's West Hills neighborhood now says those weren't the only blazes she started on the same day. Vickie Smith has been in the Spokane County Jail since August 15 after she was arrested five days prior in Tukwila and extradited. She was originally charged with three counts of first-degree arson for lighting fires on August 3 near Finch Arboretum and Indian Canyon Golf Course. Updated court records are revealing Smith told investigators she set even more fires that day in Spokane Valley. An affidavit says Smith told a Spokane detective she wrote graffiti downtown, threatening to burn Spokane down. She said her message was about money spent on homelessness and no one being housed.
