Woman is arrested on arson charges

Police arrested a woman late Saturday night and charged her with arson in connection with a fire that gutted a two-story house in East Boston. Tina Farulla, 24, of Boston, was spotted leaving the single-family home on Coleridge Street shortly before the fire broke out, said Boston Police Officer James Kenneally. Farulla was arrested at the scene and taken into custody, Kenneally said. She is likely to be arraigned tomorrow at East Boston District Court. The fire injured three firefighters and displaced three residents. Steve MacDonald, a spokesman for the Boston Fire Department, said the property is “uninhabitable for now.’’
