Carey Alice Hernandez was found guilty of burning down her employer's business in 2019 and lying to investigators about being at the scene of the blaze that morning
A San Diego federal jury convicted a bookkeeper Monday on four charges related to a fire — and subsequent cover-up — that caused $3.5 million in damage at her employer’s off-road business, prosecutors said. Carey Alice Hernandez, 46, was found guilty of malicious destruction by means of fire, witness tampering and false statements in connection with the March 28, 2019, blaze that burned down Off Road Warehouse on Balboa Avenue near Convoy Street.
Hernandez also wrote a private email to a coworker expressing her displeasure about the sale. She also said she'd 'go out with a bang,' according to court documents. On the morning of the fire, prosecutors said Hernandez drove to the 12,700-square-foot building in Kearny Mesa around 1:15 a.m. and started the blaze, burning the business to the ground along with everything inside, prosecutors said.
