Hospital/Care Facility, Other - Hospital/Medical Norman, OK – Intentionally set fire at mental health clinic controlled by sprinklers December 20, 2014 viking210 Cleveland County sheriff’s deputies arrested a teenager in connection with a Thursday night fire at the Southern Plains Treatment Services, 310 12th Avenue NE. The 17-year-old was charged Friday as a youthful offender with a felony count of first-degree arson in Cleveland County District Court. Firefighters were notified of the blaze in a bathroom and laundry room at 9:13 p.m. When deputies questioned the juvenile suspect about the blaze, she admitted to starting the fire, according to an affidavit filed with the charge. The girl told deputies she started the fire by piling a large group of towels next to the laundry room wall and setting it on fire. She said she acted alone and started the fire because she was “tired of being there and tired of the employees,” the affidavit said. Video footage also shows the girl walking out of the laundry room after the fire was set, the document states. There was fire damage limited to one wall in the room. The fire caused the sprinkler system and fire alarm to activate, the affidavit said.
