Dakota Harper and Felicity Eatmon, a popular TikTok couple, have been charged with arson after allegedly burning down an abandoned home in Charleston, Virginia. According to court documents, the couple was arrested on Tuesday, September 29, and hit with first-degree arson and conspiracy to commit arson charges.

The incident occurred on the night of Sunday, September 27, when a house went up in flames. Investigators reported that the home was abandoned at the time it was set ablaze, and there were no active utilities. An investigation was launched into the matter, and authorities obtained surveillance footage that allegedly showed Eatmon handing Harper a lit piece of paper, which he then placed inside the home. The video also shows the couple entering the home before leaving the property.

The nearby Canaan United Methodist Church reportedly suffered $10,000 worth of damage due to the fire. Following their arrests, both Harper and Eatmon were arraigned on September 29 and taken into custody at South Central Regional Jail. They each posted a $10,000 bond and are currently awaiting trial.

Harper and Eatmon have gained a significant following on TikTok, where they share videos of their life as a couple living in West Virginia. Their joint account has approximately 26.7K followers. However, their online presence has sparked controversy surrounding the alleged arson charges.

Some users took to social media to express outrage over the couple's actions. "All of that just for internet clout. Definitely not worth it. Hope when they flip burgers after release they don’t do anything to the fryers," wrote one user via X. Another social media user added, "Throw the f*ing book at them. Let them know their stupid action has CONSEQUENCES. No probation at home JAIL TIME is needed to teach them and other social dumb asses that there is consequences to their actions."

While authorities have not shared if they believe the couple had a motive in setting the fire, the case raises concerns about the potential consequences of reckless behavior for online fame. As this story continues to unfold, we will provide updates on any developments in the case.
