Investigators said she poured gasoline on the victim.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Police said Monday\u2019s arrest came after Henry called them to report that she was a victim of an aggravated battery.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Investigators said she lied and said her name was \u201cTheresa Channer,\u201d but detectives recognized her from past encounters and the attempted murder warrant.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">They said a fingerprint scanner later confirmed Henry\u2019s identity.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">It\u2019s not her first time in the news.
