The officer made contact with a 46-year-old woman there who said her brother-in-law had allowed her to have possession of the vehicle (of unreported make and model) and they parked it on her property. She said it had a wiring issue with the stereo and she was inside the residence and heard a loud pop and observed the vehicle burning.

The woman said she used a water hose to contain the fire. Licking Fire Department personnel arrived and extinguished it.
