CAROLINA FOREST, S.C. (WBTW) — A resident of Covington Drive in Carolina Forest has been arrested and charged with negligently allowing fire to spread to lands of another by the SC Forestry Commission, according to the J. Reuben Long Detention Center booking website.
Alexandra Bialousow was arrested Thursday. She is also charged with regulation of fires on certain lands, a chapter violation, which South Carolina code describes as “starting [a] fire in woodlands, grasslands, and other places unlawful unless certain precautions are taken.”
