Felony arson and criminal mischief Heather Elizabeth McCormack, 29, was arrested and charged with felony arson and criminal mischief with property damage after allegedly setting crochet materials on fire at the Rosehead Park Grand Pavilion Wednesday afternoon. According to a Perry Police Department report, McCormack admitted to setting her crochet supplies on fire following a disagreement with her husband, who “was trying to get her to sell all of her crocheting material and make some money.” McCormack admitted she became more and more mad and “did not know what to do with all of her materials,” so she set them on fire just before she had to leave the area for an appointment.
