KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A Kansas City woman has admitted to helping to burn down one home and plotting to burn another for insurance money.
The U.S. attorney’s office says 35-year-old Tina Shonk pleaded guilty Friday to two federal counts. Through her plea, she admitted to helping set an April 2014 fire in a home she was renting. Her landlord had been seeking to evict her because she owned more than $10,000 in rent.
