A Bartlesville woman is facing charges in Washington County Court after a welfare check incident Monday in her Bartlesville home.
24-year-old Jessica Morales is facing a felony charge of arson in the first degree and child endangerment. Court documents say officers went to her apartment for a welfare check. They found a living room full of broken glass, thrown foods and drinks.
Morales became angry during the check and started throwing items. She later would get angry with the officers and ask them to leave. After leaving, officers heard yelling and glass being broken. Looking through a window, officers observed glass objects being thrown near a victim. Three additional victims were asleep in different rooms during the incident.
After officers found smoke coming from the kitchen, they entered again and found a wooden picture frame on fire on a gas burner and extinguished it.
Morales is being held on $15,000 bond. Her next court date is scheduled for July 7th.
