Now that's a flame-out! Jilted girlfriend on the run after torching lingerie shop with gasoline-soaked UNDERWEAR purchased there by her ex

Fire starter: A warrant has been issued for the arrest of 42-year-old Jennifer Colwell, who is accused of using a pillowcase stuffed with gasoline-soaked lingerie to torch a store

Police in Orange County, California, are on the hunt for a woman who they say hurled a bag of burning intimates at a lingerie store after a bad breakup.



A warrant has been issued for the arrest of 42-year-old Jennifer Renee Colwell, who failed to show up for a pre-trial hearing Friday.



Colwell, of Dana Point, was arrested last October and charged with felony arson of property for allegedly trying to burn down Intimate Obsession, a lingerie shop located in the 34000 block of Pacific Coast Highway.



Police say at around 12.30am on October 2, Colwell gathered some lingerie that her ex-boyfriend had gifted her, doused it with gasoline, placed it inside a pillowcase, set in on fire and then lobbed the flaming bundle at the storefront, the local station KTLA reported.

An off-duty officer who happened to be in the area at the time of the incident spotted the flames - some as high as 6-feet-high - and blocked Colwell's car as she was backing out of the parking lot.

The quick-thinking cop then called the fire department, which arrived just in time to extinguish the blaze.



Following her arrest, the 42-year-old jilted lover woman blamed the incident on her relationship troubles, saying that the torched intimates had been purchased from the Orange County store by her former paramour, who had left her.

Colwell earlier has pleaded not guilty in connection to the October 2 incident.

She also faces other charges in connection to two unrelated incidents, among them a DUI and allegedly making harassing phone calls.
