A Houston ISD secretary is accused of starting a fire to avoid meeting with the school principal about missing money, according to court documents.
Adriana Castorena-Narvaez, 49, is charged with arson after she allegedly set a fire in the conference room of the front office at C.E. Barrick Elementary School at 12001 Winfrey Lane on Oct. 10.
Investigators said they spoke with the school principal, who said there were recent financial problems with the secretary. Castorena-Narvaez was responsible for the school’s finances and depositing cash from fundraising events.
