SNOW HILL — A Bishopville woman, charged with arson in November after setting a fire in her holding cell in Ocean City by concealing a lighter, pleaded guilty last week and was sentenced to seven months in jail.
Around 9 p.m. last Nov. 12, an Ocean City police officer on patrol was approached by a cab driver who informed the officer he just had a female passenger jump from his vehicle in the area of 64thStreet. The officer responded to the area and found the woman, later identified as Lisa Kerstetter, 53, of Bishopville, allegedly crawling in the parking lot of the 64th Street Village shopping center. The officer asked Kerstetter how he could help her and when asked if she wanted EMS to respond, she said no, according to police reports.
Kerstetter became agitated and called the OCPD officers expletives. She told one of the officers she was going to smack him and walked toward the officer, but lost her balance and then picked up a soft drink bottle and struck the front glass door of a nail salon. At that point, Kerstetter was taken to the Public Safety Building for processing and put in a holding cell.

Crackling sound? A hot fire or twigs and wood. Lol. I think it was just the intercom being scratchy. I don't see how she did that much damage without it being caught earlier. Between the smell and cell checks........
