Police say a Massapequa Park woman is facing charges after allegedly threatening to set a house on fire while two children were inside.

Investigators say 46-year-old Stephanie Spada got into an argument with a 50-year-old man inside an Ocean Avenue home Tuesday. After the man left, police say Spada sent him a text threatening to burn the house down.

According to sources, a propane tank was later found placed on the stove. Two children, ages 10 and 14, were inside the home at the time.

Spada was arrested and is expected to face multiple charges.
