Los Angeles police have arrested a woman on an outstanding warrant while they work with arson investigators to determine whether she is the same person caught on video last week trying to set a big rig ablaze in North Hollywood.

The arrest came Monday after Los Angeles Fire Department officials issued a flier seeking a female suspect setting a big rig on fire at Irvine Avenue near Califa Street last Thursday, said Los Angeles Police Department Officer Mike Lopez.

Lopez said patrol officers located someone who seemed to fit that description.

“We ran her (through their system); it turned out she had unrelated warrants,” Lopez said. “Now, we’re working with LAFD to investigate to see if that’s the woman…who was on the flier and who committed the arson.”

The woman, identified as Angelina McWhirter, 35, of North Hollywood, was arrested on a warrant for suspicion of bringing contraband into a jail, which is a misdemeanor, Lopez said.

A spokesman for the Los Angeles Fire Department could not immediately comment on the arrest Thursday.

CBS2 obtained surveillance video last week of what appears to be a woman trying to set fire to the big rig in North Hollywood.

The big rig fire was one of several fires believed to be arson reported early Thursday in the area. They included tree fires and other auto fires and took place between 5:35 and 5:53 a.m., said LAFD spokesman Peter Sanders.

Besides North Irvine Avenue, these fires also occurred on North Carpenter Avenue, West Oxnard Street and Beck Avenue, he said.

Several other small fires have also been reported in the Studio City and Valley Village communities of Los Angeles.
