MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Two families in the Nutbush area of Memphis are feuding after police said a woman set a home on fire after an argument over a hamburger.
“It’s over $2.50, a hamburger. She almost killed these kids over a hamburger,” said a woman in a wheelchair who did not want to be identified.
Police have charged 54-year-old Pamela Crawley West with arson. The woman in the wheelchair said she and West got into an argument after West bought her a hamburger. She said West became angry after the woman paid her back, but was short in her payment.
Pamela West looked at the woman who was wheelchair-bound and told her “Have fun getting out the house b****”, before walking out of the house and slamming the door, according to an affidavit.
Police said West then went and grabbed a bag of the woman’s clothes and put them on a porch next to the home, catching the house on fire.
FOX13 News went to the home on Wednesday, when West’s daughter, Jennifer Johnson, arrived and got into a heated argument with the family whose home burned.
