Leuitenent Vie MacClawden and Andi Bayne enjoying a toasted marshmallow and enjoying the fruits of their labor.

The pawn shop is usually a place to sell and pawn valuables for profit, or to peruse the shelves for a bargain, however Syndicate Boss Andi Bayne and Fire Department Lieutenant Vie MacClawden had no intentions of doing either.

On April 26th in the early evening hours, the two brazen women intentionally set fire to the Pawn Shop owned by Xelan Yheng.

While enjoying a bag of marshmallows, Andi Bayne redundantly phoned 911 while the Fire Department Lieutenant was standing beside her. The two carried on like teenagers engaging in petty vandalism well up until the fire department arrived. However the fire wouldn’t be put out at all.

Both Xelan and Ming Yheng came to the scene to discover their beloved business going up in smoke. Both attacked Vie and Andi, resulting in a fight that only lasted a few minutes until Fire Chief Kendall Aslop began spraying the fighters and bystanders with a powerful jet of water. This reporter was also hit with the water. Not once but twice.

Now it would seem the fire department is following in the foot steps of the police department, becoming increasingly lax in their duty to protect the city from arson of this degree.

Not only was Fire Lieutenant MacClawden NOT fired for committing the very crime she is sworn to fight, but she was given freedom to leave by the late arriving Detective Kerri Oakleaf, along with Andi Bayne.

Now the police are allowing admitted arsonists to go free with no consequences? This reporter can only determine that both the fire department and police department are becoming lazy and need a reality check.

A building was set on fire and both organizations allow criminals to roam free. Whether or not Oakleaf had a valid reason, it is also unclear if we can depend on them to help us in times of need.
