(WSB Radio) Forsyth County fire investigators have arrested a woman who claimed someone torched her house because she supported President Barack Obama.

Captain Jason Shivers tells WSB's Jennifer Griffies 47-year-old Pamela Graf was arrested on unrelated charges, but is listed as a suspect in the fire.

"Ms. Graf was arrested on unrelated drug charges due to the execution of a search warrant during the investigation of the Lanier Drive fire," said Shivers.

Marijuana and cocaine were found during a search of motel room and car.

Her boyfriend, 46-year-old Steve Strobel, was arrested at his home in Barrow County and charged with obstruction of justice and giving false statements related to the fire investigation.

He is also listed as a suspect.

Graf's home was destroyed January 18th, while she said she was in Washington, D.C., attending the inauguration.

Officials found spray-painted graffiti that included a racial slur and ruled the fire an arson.

What others are saying

  • As I suspected
    With the down economy, there seems to be a lot more fires. This white trash be-otch was just cashing in on our polarized political party system. Now she will experience "CHANGE" from freedom to a jail cell.
  • Arson Suspect
    Everyone knows it is Obama supporters that are more likely to do this to people who support the opposing side, not the other way around.
  • What,no southern rednecks were involved? It is amazing that there were so many comments on the first report. Where did all the blamers go?
  • Suspects
    White trash.
  • Funny how no one is "reporting" this "story".
  • Arson
    This is just like that lady who had octuplets! Wanted to steal media headlines and get paid to be on Morning and Talk Shows.....I guess 'honest living' is on our lips less and less these days.
