A woman has been arrested after police say they caught her using a spell book and shotgun to set fire to cars at a used dealership.
Kristy Malzi, 47, is facing charges related to reckless burning, terror threats and simple assault after a tirade at a dealership where vehicles were said to have been set on fire.
Police say the woman, who is reported to have practiced witchcraft, had escaped from a hospital, used pages from a spell book to set one vehicle on fire.

Officers learned through a series of interviews that the dealership had been targeted because of the owner's previous relationship with Malzi, PennLive reports.
A criminal complaint was submitted, saying Malzi was armed with a loaded shotgun and a copy of the Wicca Book of Spells.
Witnesses to the alleged witchcraft say they noticed a Ford Focus was set alight and that the lot of the dealership was on fire.
One employee attempted to battle the sorcery and flames with a fire extinguisher, which was when they noticed several burnt pages from a book inside the engine compartment of the vehicle.
Police say that the burnt pages found lying around the parking lot were ripped from a copy of the Wicca Book of Spells, which is described as a beginner's guide to magic and sorcery.

Police also noted that witnesses told investigators that Malzi was believed to be practicing witchcraft, igniting pages from the book before placing them on the driver-side front seat through an open window.
The practicing witch had also pointed a loaded shotgun at the head of her ex-boyfriend and used car dealership owner, hitting him before employees forced her out of the building.
Employees then locked Malzi, who said her ex-boyfriend had been tracking her, outside of the building.
Malzi, who is currently being held in Cambria County Prison, had bail set at £20,000 ($25,000).
