SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- Syracuse police say a North Side resident was so upset at a neighbor in her apartment building that she set a shirt on fire and left it burning in front of the other person's apartment door.

Bridget Thomas, 32, of 824 Kirkpatrick St., was charged with second-degree attempted arson, a felony, after the fire Saturday night, officials said.

Smoke detectors alerted people inside the nine-unit apartment building at 824 Kirkpatrick St. of the fire, Syracuse Fire Lt. Joseph Fenell said.

Syracuse police and firefighters responded around 8:30 p.m. Firefighters quickly extinguished the fire.

"It was a minor fire," said Fenell, a fire investigator.

The fire did not spread beyond the hallway where the shirt was left to burn and no one was hurt, he said. But fire investigators were called to the scene.

An investigation found "Thomas had been involved in an ongoing dispute with another resident of the building," Syracuse police Sgt. Julie Shulsky said. "Thomas lit a shirt on fire and left it burning, in the hallway, in front of the other person's apartment door."

Police Officers Joseph Heider and Eric Sisley went to the apartment where Thomas lives and took her into custody, Shulsky said.

Thomas was sent to the Onondaga County Justice Center in Syracuse. She remained in jail Sunday night. Thomas also is facing a misdemeanor petit larceny charge from the town of Cicero, according to jail records. No information was immediately available about the theft charge.
