GOLDEN — Nancy Jean Jewett, charged with setting fires in her Lakewood home while her family slept inside, pleaded guilty Monday to two counts of attempted first-degree murder.
Jewett, 48, was accused of setting five fires April 10 in her home at 405 S. Balsam St. Her husband, son, daughter and her daughter’s boyfriend were asleep when they were awakened about 2:15 a.m. by the smell of smoke, court documents show. They escaped safely.
Jewett was arrested a few days later in the parking lot of a Black Hawk casino.
She will be sentenced March 11. She faces 32 to 64 years in prison.
