Seven Fields woman admits to arson

About a year ago, a suspicious house fire occurred on Dorchester Drive on the northern side of 228 in Seven Fields. A woman found unconscious in the home was "considered a person of interest" in the fire. She was later formally charged with torching her own home.

Today, the woman finally admitted to the arson.

Kimberly Barnes, 51, of Indianapolis, pleaded guilty to arson in Butler County Court. The terms of her plea bargain call for probation. She will be sentenced July 2.

The fire at her Dorchester Drive home, which had been for sale, occurred May 19, 2007.
