TikTok couple Dakota Harper and Felicity Eatmon were arrested and charged with arson after a weekend fire in Charleston, West Virginia .
A video of their court appearance was shared on X. Several people reacted to the news of their arrest. One wrote “This is Dakota and Felicity, they share a love story that’s almost Shakespearean in scope. Famous for stolen property, trespassing, possession, evictions, and conflicts, their latest news will shock you. They were just arrested for arson and first-degree arson. Another noted that the couple has not disclosed a motive for starting the fire. The paper was then reportedly placed inside the home and when the fire developed, the duo reportedly fled the scene. A true crime reporter noted that Harper and Eatmon had been arrested in past as well. However, this case was not widely covered by local media unlike the Charleston arson.
“TikTok influencers Dakota Harper, 21, and Felicity Eatmon, 22, were arrested and charged with conspiracy to commit arson and first-degree arson in connection with a fire that destroyed an abandoned home. Nearby Canaan United Methodist Church also sustained over $10,000 in damages. The couple are each being held on a $10,000 cash bond at the South Central Regional Jail,” the caption read. As per the report, the blaze started by Harper and Eatmon caused $10,000 worth of damage to the nearby Canaan United Methodist Church. In June 14, the TikTok duo reportedly faced misdemeanor charges.
The two were placed under arrest after an investigation into a blaze at an abandoned home in the 400 block of Maryland Avenue. The fire had started around 11:15pm Sunday and continued to smolder until through the next morning.
