One of Herrera’s family members attempted to intervene, but was also attacked by Herrera. No serious injuries were reported.
The San Bernardino County District Attorney’s offices says that Herrera had an active warrant for suspicion of burning down a home with her daughter and another person inside on March 11.

At an arraignment on Friday (March 28), she pled not guilty to felony charges of attempted arson, assault with a deadly weapon, and willfully causing a child to suffer, and she is being held without bail.
