The police had Ellison detained before NFD got there. When officers Mirandized Ellison, she stated she purchased a black electric lighter from Kroger before entering Five Below. Ellison noted that she was “bored” when she did this. Ellison said she wanted to see what the lighter would do to paper or cardboard. Ellison was then taken into custody for attempted arson on June 20th.
Adriana Ellison was booked into the Metro Nashville Jail on June 20th, charged with attempted aggravated arson. A judicial commissioner set her bond at $20,000.
