SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) - A 32-year-old woman and a 14-year-old have been arrested on arson charges in Sioux City.

Daisy Castillo and the youth are suspected of setting five house fires over 2½ weeks in August and September, police said. Castillo also is charged with burglary. No injuries have been reported.

Castillo remained in custody on Thursday, according to Woodbury County Jail records. Her attorney didn’t immediately return a call.



The Associated Press generally doesn’t identify juveniles accused of crimes.

More arrests were expected in the case, Sioux City fire marshal Mark Aesoph said.
