A West Virginia couple who built a following on TikTok are facing felony charges after surveillance footage allegedly placed them near an abandoned home shortly before it caught fire. Dakota Harper, 21, and Felicity Eatmon, 22, are each charged with first-degree arson and conspiracy to commit arson, according to a criminal complaint filed in Kanawha County Magistrate Court.

A caller reported the fire at about 11.15pm on Sunday 27 September at an abandoned home in the 400 block of Maryland Avenue on Charleston's West Side. The remains continued to smoulder into Monday morning, while the adjacent Canaan United Methodist Church sustained more than $10,000 in estimated damage, according to the complaint.
