() A woman who committed arson with a bag of Takis tortilla chips has been sentenced to 12 years in prison.

Patricia Faye Williams initially pleaded not guilty to first-degree arson in 2023, but in a Tuesday court appearance, changed her plea to guilty. The 43-year-old Missouri woman set fire to a home in Greene County, Missouri, using an unusual method.

A statement from the fire marshal said a woman called 911 to report Williams had set fire to a home. A police officer was sent to investigate and found three people, including one in a wheelchair, waiting outside. One of the witnesses accused Williams of setting the fire.

When she was detained, officers noted soot on Williams’ face and said she was complaining of smoke inhalation. She was taken to a hospital for treatment and was arrested after police found she already had several warrants.

The witnesses reported seeing Williams pour gasoline from a soda bottle onto clothes and the floor in the laundry room and igniting a bag of Taki tortilla chips on fire, tossing it into the room.

Officials conducted a field test to see if Taki chips would burn and found they could. Williams stated she used Taki chips because she knew the grease content would help them burn.

No one was harmed in the fire, and it’s not clear what relationship Williams had to the victims.
