ZACHARY, La. (AP) — Two women, including the pastor of an East Baton Rouge church, have been arrested in connection with a house fire. State Fire Marshal Butch Browning says that 49-year-old Bridgett Barnes Steib was booked into the parish prison on one count each of simple arson and arson with intent to defraud. Steib is a pastor at The Ministry of Love Church in Baton Rouge. Forty-two-year-old Lucille Barnes Brown has been charged with simple arson in connection with the case. The arrests came following a July 9 fire at Steib’s house. Browning said Wednesday the fire happened not long after a new insurance policy was taken out on the home. A news release from Browning said more arrests are possible. |
