"Let that b*tch burn" is exactly how Nancy Brewer felt when she set her boyfriend's Lauderhill, FL home on fire last week. It's probably worth mentioning that her boyfriend is a police officer for the city of Miami.

Perhaps fueled by the actions of Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes, the 25-year-old Brewer arrived at Sgt. Travis Lindsey's home before 6 a.m. on Wednesday morning and doused the house with gasoline. She tied a piece of cloth to the front door, then set it on fire along with several door mats before fleeing. 

Better judgement instantly kicked in, as she drove straight to the Miami Police Department and turned herself in. It's not like she was going to be on the lam for long, anyway. Offering a third party confession to an officer, she explained that she and Sgt. Lindsey had been experiencing trouble with their relationship. 

Brewer was charged with arson and is being held in Broward County jail on $50,000 bail.
