TikTok influencers arson charges in West Virginia

Overview

TikTok influencers Dakota Harper, 21, and Felicity Eatmon, 22, were arrested and charged with first-degree arson and conspiracy to commit arson in Charleston, West Virginia. The charges relate to a September 27 fire at an abandoned property on Maryland Avenue. Surveillance footage allegedly shows Eatmon handing Harper a piece of paper, which he then ignited and placed inside the building.

The blaze destroyed the vacant residence and caused approximately $10,000 in heat and smoke damage to the adjacent Canaan United Methodist Church. Following their arraignment in Kanawha County, both individuals waived their preliminary hearings. While Eatmon’s bail remained at $10,000, Harper’s bail was increased to $20,000 after prosecutors characterized the crime as violent. The pair, who share a social media following of over 26,000, have seen increased attention regarding their previous content about homelessness.
