MANHATTAN — A woman who was forced out of her home early Friday when fire ripped through her SoHo apartment building was arrested hours later when investigators discovered a "large" pot stash hidden inside, according to police.
Fire marshals were investigating the early morning blaze at 68 Thompson St. when they discovered "a large quantity of marijuana" in the apartment of a 44-year-old resident, a police spokesman said.
The NYPD would not disclose the size of the suspect's alleged stash.
Charges against her are pending.
The fire injured 11 people, including seven firefighters.
