– An elementary school secretary is accused of setting the campus’ office on fire in an attempt to distract school officials from questioning her about money she was suspected of stealing, according to court documents.According to an affidavit, it all began when school administrators at Houston Independent School District’s C. E. Barrick Elementary School realized certain funds were missing from the books.
The principal then went directly to Castorena-Narvaez with the intent of getting to the bottom of it, but when she attempted to question her, the secretary said she had a family emergency she needed to take care of and rushed out. According to investigators, early that morning, Castorena-Narvaez and seven other employees arrived at the building and reported to their work areas. Investigators checked the key access and clock-in logs to match everyone’s times.
He said he was alerted by Castorena-Narvaez of a fire in the front office a short time later. After extinguishing the flames, he reported that he thought the fire was “weird” and “looked like a campfire piled up.”
