Monday, June 3 and doused the front porch with an accelerant.

Tina Dorrough, and a 57-year-old man and a 65-year-old woman — were inside.

Dorrough, 53, died in the fire. The other two people, whose names have not 
been released, were rushed to the hospital for treatment, according to Wayne 
County prosecutors.

an occupied house?” Prosecutor Kym Worthy said in a statement. “The alleged 
actions of the defendant in this case are beyond reprehensible.”

prosecutor’s office tells PEOPLE, hindering Dorrough’s ability to get out of 
the home once it became engulfed in flames.

counts of first-degree arson and one count of third-degree arson. 

Rigmaiden was arraigned Friday, June 7 and remanded to jail. She has pleaded 
not guilty, according to the prosecutor's office.

intended to damage property and did not want to hurt anyone, Click on

Rigmaiden is slated to return to court for a probable cause conference June 
14.
