Tyler police detained a woman after a patrol car was set on fire within a secure rear parking lot of the law enforcement complex.
Spokesman Officer Don Martin said a police employee arrived at work around 6 a.m. Friday and noticed the 2008 Crown Victoria patrol car was burning.
Martin said officers who scrambled to move nearby vehicles away from the flames came upon a woman standing in the corner of the fenced area.
Police believe the 19-year-old woman from Lindale started the police car on fire. She'll face felony arson and misdemeanor criminal trespass charges.
