“I’m guilty and I did it,” a Butler woman charged with arson at her apartment complex earlier this month told District Judge William Fullerton at her preliminary hearing Monday.

Rebecca L. Allison, 58, representing herself, waived her right to counsel when she appeared before Fullerton and insisted on having a hearing.

Allison was charged by city police Dec. 10 with one count of felony arson, five counts of felony risking catastrophe and five counts of misdemeanor reckless endangerment following a fire evacuation earlier that day at an apartment complex on East Wayne Street.
