Ocean City, Maryland (The Weekly Vice) -- Barbara Waskey, a 43-year-old Rogersville, Tennessee woman has been arrested and charged with arson after allegedly torching husband's Harley Davidson motorcycle. Mug shot distributed to biker bar dart boards across the country.

According to Ocean City police, officers responded to a report of a fire Saturday night. When officers arrived on the scene, they found 40-year-old Joseph Waskey using a garden hose in an attempt to extinguish a fire that had engulfed his Harley Davidson motorcycle. Officers arriving on the scene used fire extinguishers to finally put the blaze out.

Deputy Fire Marshal Cliff Christello said the fire had been deliberately set. Investigators say Waskey's wife, Barbera Waskey set the fire by stuffing a towel into the motorcycle's gas tank and then lit the towel on fire. Police say Barbara Waskey originally left the scene after starting the fire, but later returned and spoke to investigators. Police also found the motorcycle's gas cap in Barbara Waskey's car.

Barbara Waskey was arrested and charged with second-degree arson, malicious burning and reckless endangerment. She was ordered held pending a $50,000 bond.

Viscious ol' biddy.

i wonder what her reasoning behind it is. There has to be more to the story than insanity on her part.

She too beeg to be motorcycle woman!

Oh nooooo she didn't!!! Someone didn't tell her the rules....no touching the big bad Harley!

I'm guessing she needed her husbands attention. And why is it against the law to set fire to your own stuff as long as you're not trying to collect insurance on it.

She's probably being held for her own protection!

Given as much as Harleys cost these days, I can't blame her hubby for being ticked.

Well considering it is her husband's bike (community property) and unless they can prove that she was trying to gain money out of burning it, she will be found not guilty.

Wow- she must've been really ticked off about sumpin!

that beotch!
