THIS CHICK IS CRAZY SHE SET THE WHOLE HOOD ON FIRE!!

Meet Monique “Burn The Block Down” Riley… She has a history of destroying other people’s property, getting in fights with her ex-boyfriend’s relatives and beating up the competition, but nothing quite compares to her latest alleged crime — setting the WHOLE DAMN HOOD ON FIRE.

Monique Riley, 32, of 19th Street near Wingohocking, was arrested yesterday afternoon and charged with aggravated assault, arson and related offenses.

According to her ex, Ouris Alston Jr., 35, Riley came to the East Germantown home where he lives with his parents, ticked off and demanding he give back money that he says he never took to begin with. Alston Jr. said he was sleeping in the living room when he heard the front window screen scraping open at about 3 a.m. He went to the door and found Riley trying to get inside. He then shut the screen, told her to leave and went back to sleep. But within thirty minutes he says he smelled gasoline.

“I looked outside and she was standing on the [porch]. She threw the match, and everything just caught on fire,” a stunned Alston said. “I went upstairs to get my family [out of the house].”

The flames quickly tore through the first floor and Alston, his parents, brother and two young daughters ran for a rear, second-floor window, pushed out the air-conditioner, jumped onto the roof where they were fortunate enough to find a ladder leaning against the recently repaired roof.

“The fire was all over the house by then; it was like two seconds behind us,” said Ouris Alston Sr.

A fire spokesman said it took the department 34 minutes to get the blaze under control. Three rowhouses on Alston’s block were completely destroyed, while the fire damaged at least six more houses nearby. No one was injured aside from Riley, who suffered burns on her leg before calling the cab that took her away from the scene of the crime.
