Shanta Dargbeh didn't have a date for prom so she burned her ex's house down.
Quote:
TRENTON -- The fire that tore through a Hillcrest Avenue home early Thursday forcing a family to flee for their lives was set by a former girlfriend of a teen in the home who was angry that he didn't take her to his high school prom, police said.
Shanta Dargbeh, 19, of Bristol Township, Pa., was arrested at her Lloyd Street home at about 4:45 p.m. yesterday on 10 felony charges, aggravated arson and nine counts of aggravated assault.
The 12:45 a.m. fire Thursday quickly engulfed Stanley Davis and Teresa Johnson-Davis' home in the first block of Hillcrest Avenue. The couple have eight children ranging in age from 1 to 18 years and seven were home with them when the fire started and all nine had to escape through rear windows and down a fire escape. Two were treated for smoke inhalation.
One of the Davis teens, a male police did not identify, had dated Dargbeh.
Detectives were still sorting through the relationship aspect yesterday, Detective Capt. Joseph Juniak said, but it appears Darg beh set the fire because she did not get to attend a Trenton High School prom with him.
The prom was last weekend and Juniak said the male may have taken another date, and the sus pect found out about it recently.
"And she became upset about it," Juniak said.
"We believe this fire was purposefully set, endangering the lives of (the family) inside," Juniak said.
Fire department officials said Thursday that the first firefighters at the scene encountered flames consuming the front of the house and rapidly spreading to the third floor. The speed and intensity of the fire led firefighters to suspect the blaze had been set.
Juniak said the fire was apparently set on the three-story home's front porch, possibly by igniting materials already on the porch. Detectives recovered gloves and matches they believe Dargbeh used and then discarded, he said.
Dargbeh also faces weapon charges and tampering with evi dence charges in relation to those materials, Juniak said.
Dargbeh allegedly had another young woman with her at the time, possibly acting as a getaway driver, but Juniak said no other suspects have been charged in the case. He declined to discuss whether any other people were involved in the incident.
Juniak said Detective Mike Krunchisky worked the case nonstop from the fire scene until yesterday evening, when his suspect was brought to police headquarters at about 5 p.m.
Members of the NY/NJ Regional Fugitive Task Force apprehended Dargbeh yesterday after staking out her residence for hours.
Krunchisky, with Mercer County Prosecutor's Office Detective Robert McNally, had an idea of how the fire started by late Thursday.
However, Juniak said, detectives had to make sure the Davis fire was not related to a homicide that occurred about 90 minutes earlier, or the May 11 arson on Wal nut Avenue that killed a 10-year-old girl -- an unsolved crime believe to be a gang-related witness-intimidation crime.
Stanley Davis, 47, and Johnson- Davis, 37, have five teenagers -- four males and a female -- as well as a 12-year-old girl, a 9-year-old girl and a 1-year-old boy, officials said.
The family could not be reached for comment yesterday, but are staying with relatives. Stanley Davis, a city employee, is a brother of Mercer County Freeholder Tony Mack.
Dargbeh was being held at the Trenton police lockup yesterday evening on $250,00 bail.

A teenage girl has been accused of burning down the home of a Trenton, NJ, boy because he refused to take her to the prom.
The fire, allegedly set by Shanta Dargbeh, 19, from nearby Bristol, Pa., forced her would-be lover's parents and six of his seven siblings to flee for their lives from the flames engulfing their row house.
The teen's father, Stanley "Muscles" Davis, mom Teresa Johnson-Davis and some of his siblings had to jump from windows to survive the raging blaze, which was set on the home's front porch on Thursday.
Two people were treated for smoke inhalation.
"We will do whatever we can to support him and his family, because this family is devastated," Mayor Doug Palmer told The Trentonian.
Dargbeh was allegedly incensed after she found out that the unidentified boy took another girl to the Trenton HS prom.
Dargbeh was busted on Friday, and is being held on $250,000 bail and facing 10 counts of arson and assault.
Still hunting for a picture of the psychotic bitch.

Trenton police spokesman Detective Captain Joseph Juniak said the 19-year-old became upset when she learned that one of Stanley and Teresa Johnson-Davis' eight children may have taken another date to last weekend's Trenton High School prom.
Nine people, who were home when the early morning fire consumed the house, fled through back windows and down a fire escape. Two were treated for smoke inhalation.
Dargbeh is in the Trenton lockup, her bail set at $250,000. At the time of her arrest she was free on bail and awaiting trial on theft and conspiracy charges.
