Lashauwna Tucker, 26, left her children who are 4 and 6 years old alone in her house before going to the chain restaurant, WTOL reported Tuesday. She allegedly wanted money from the children’s dad, an employee at Burger King.

Tucker set the dumpster on fire after attempting to enter the restaurant’s kitchen and then being asked to leave, according to the New York Post. Authorities arrested her Monday. (RELATED: Burger King Releases Net Neutrality Commercial)
