A woman who torched the door of her neighbour's flat has been given an extended sentence as a dangerous offender.
Michelle Griffiths had spent the previous few hours "ranting and raving" outside the flat, repeatedly kicking the door and hurling abuse at the woman inside before using a Zippo lighter to set the door alight. Swansea Crown Court heard firefighters using breathing apparatus had to make their way into the smoke-logged maisonette and carry the tenant to safety.
The court heard Griffiths is a "complex individual" whose mental health difficulties are exacerbated by her abuse of alcohol and illegally-obtained prescription drugs.
