Williams admitted to authorities that she used the spicy snack to start the fire knowing it would combust due to its high grease content, according to court documents.

The convicted arsonist was captured on surveillance footage purchasing $2 of gasoline at a nearby gas station before entering a home and pouring the petrol from a soda bottle onto a pile of clothes and all over the laundry room floor.

The firebug then ignited the Takis chips and tossed the flaming bag onto the gasoline-soaked garments, setting the house ablaze, according to court documents.

Three people managed to escape the home without injury and reported Williams to the police after witnessing her brazen deed.

The pyro was later discovered with soot still on her face and was booked at Greene County Jail, local outlets reported.

Police also found Williams had several warrants out for her arrest, court documents show.

The relationship between Williams and the victims remains unclear.
