Investigators said Mishauna Eaton walked into the lobby of the station near Exposition Park with the cart late Thursday night, starting a destructive fire. She was arrested Friday morning and is currently being held on $250,000 bond. Police believe she's homeless. "We were able to identify her at the front of the station, we were able to observe her actions, we were consistent with lighting something on fire and her fleeing the location," said LAPD Capt. Rodolfo Lopez. "I think it's more severe because it was inhabited with people. That takes it to the next level."
