A North Carolina state senator’s legislative aide found herself in handcuffs this week, accused of igniting a fire in a Raleigh residence while two individuals were inside.

Details regarding Diane Cook’s connection to the occupants or their condition following the incident were not disclosed by the police, as reported by WNCN.

An arrest warrant alleges that Cook “willfully” and “maliciously” started the blaze at a home located in Raleigh’s Addison Reserve neighborhood.

As reported by WCTI, Cook was taken into custody on Monday, facing arson charges for the incident that occurred on the preceding Friday.

Cook serves as an aide to Republican State Senator Norman Sanderson, who represents the counties of Carteret, Chowan, Halifax, Hyde, Martin, Pamlico, Warren, and Washington.

Sanderson himself was arrested a month ago when a breathalyzer test found that he was driving with a blood alcohol content of double the legal limit. He was charged with driving while intoxicated,  having an open container of alcohol, and failing to obey a traffic order.

Cook is due in court on Tuesday.
