This may be the week leading up to Valentine's Day, but at least one Louisiana couple isn't feeling the love.

The woman you see above is 31-year old Julianne Goodson.  This Bernice, Louisiana resident was arrested last weekend on charges of attempted manslaughter and attempted arson charges after she allegedly set her boyfriend's bed on fire while he was sleeping on it.

According to KNOE, the unidentified man told police he had been arguing with Goodson "all evening" on Friday.  He eventually asked her to leave so that he could get some sleep, but his ordeal was far from over.  At around 5 a.m. the next morning, he claims she had returned and snuck into his house.

He told investigators with the Louisiana Fire Marshal's office that he vaguely remembered hearing the flick of a lighter and seeing his girlfriend at the foot of his bed.  Reportedly, he awoke a short time later to find that his bed was engulfed in flames.

After a brief interview, Goodson admitted "her knowledge of the fire," and was placed under arrest.
