Police: Mo. woman tried to torch new hubby

LEE'S SUMMIT, Mo. (AP) -- Authorities have charged a 30-year-old woman with domestic assault after her new husband was almost set on fire at their home in suburban Kansas City.

Carolyn Grines would face a 15-year prison sentence if convicted of the felony charge.

Lee's Summit police said Grines told them she never loved her husband and married him for $3,000.

The man told police last week that Grines attacked him in their apartment after he refused to tell her who he named as the beneficiary of his life-insurance policy. The man was not injured.

According to court documents, Grines said that she never loved the man but "had made an arrangement to marry him for $3,000."

Police said immigration officials are reviewing their report.
