Waverly Woman Charged with Arson in Barton

A Waverly woman is charged with arson in connection with an August fire that damaged a home on Camptown Road in the Town of Barton.

Tioga County Sheriff’s Deputies say 28-year-old Misty Smith is also charged with both felony and misdemeanor criminal mischief as several vehicles at the scene were also found spray-painted with profanity.

Authorities say after investigating the August 22^nd suspicious structure fire for the past four months, they arrested Smith January 7 and charged her with the two felony and one misdemeanor counts.

She was released following arraignment and ordered to appear in Town of Barton Court later this month.
